Last Thursday, SJR celebrated Catholic Schools Week with a focus on vocations and were blessed to welcome a very special guest, Dr. Antoinette Marie Reaves. She has dedicated her vocation to serving others through education, ministry, and community leadership. Mrs. Reaves has lead church choirs, created musicals, and taught people about their faith. She recently earned her Doctorate in Urban Ministry. Ms. Razler, Kindergarten teacher, introduced Dr. Reaves to the 3rd - 8th grade students. Dr. Reaves was the former Director at Cabrini Campus Ministry where Ms. Razler earned her Education Degree. Ms. Razler gained so much spiritual inspiration from Dr. Reaves and was so excited to welcome Dr. Reaves to SJR! Dr Reaves engaged our students, offering reflections on the beauty of God’s calling to a vocation that we love. Our vocation is calling us to be loving, holy, kind, caring, and faithful children of God. We thank Dr.Reaves for her talents and inspiring us to value our worth as God’s children and chosen vocation that our students are working to achieve throughout their academic, spiritual, and community service journey. Dr. Reaves’ spirit resonated throughout CSW as many students shared the value and reflections of her presentation. #SJRproud. #WeAreSJR, #archphilly, #AOPS_schools, @aops_schools
