TO: Parents of Sacred Heart School Catholic Schools: FROM: Mrs. Woodall educating mind, heart, and spirit ​ RE: Newsletter ​ DATE: January 17, 2020 Celebrating Sunday as a Family John 1:29-34 In the Gospel today we find clues about who Jesus is. Jesus is given the title, “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world” and God’s Chosen One.” These names teach us the truth about Jesus.
