St. Mary's School
PRINCIPAL'S NEWSLETTER 4.11.2019
Throughout the Lenten season we have been preparing ourselves through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. The Lenten season is nearing its end, but next week (Holy Week) is an extremely important part of our faith journey. On Holy Thursday we reenact the Lord’s Supper. On Good Friday we venerate the cross and reflect on Christ’s crucifixion and death. On Holy Saturday, as Jesus’ body lays in the tomb, we wait in anticipation for the rising of Our Savior.
As we head into spring vacation and Holy Week, may God bless you and your families with the promise of Easter Sunday.
Sincerely,
Mr. Beza
