September Virtue Award
September – Humility - “Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent.

If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.”
A student who earns this award: knows that all their gifts have been given to them by God. They use these gifts to make the world a better place – they do not brag or make other people feel bad. M.T. – “speak as little as possible about yourself.”
