Weekly Update for Families on Catholic Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Dear School Families,
Bishop Reed will be celebrating a Memorial Mass for those who have died of COVID-19 on Friday, May 29. People are invited to submit the name of a loved one to be placed on the altar during Mass. Names of loved ones who have passed on, regardless of whether it was due to COVID-19, may also be offered. Click here to submit a name.
In addition, if you did not have the opportunity to watch Sunday's Baccalaureate Mass, which was celebrated by Cardinal Seán, you can still watch it here.
This Monday, we prayerfully remember all who have given the ultimate sacrifice when defending our country. The USCCB offers this prayer for Memorial Day.
In Christ,
Tom

Stopping the Spread: Student Scientists in Action - An Archdiocesan Essay Contest
We are thrilled to invite your child — Ages 2.9 - Grade 8 — to participate in the Archdiocese of Boston Catholic Schools Writing Contest: Stopping the Spread: Student Scientists in Action. In this contest, your child will create a public service announcement for their peers that explains how to stay safe during a virus outbreak.
The contest was created by Rhonda Eaton, fifth-grade teacher from Saint John Paull II Catholic Academy, Lower Mills Campus, and Theresa O'Neill, CSO science consultant. They differentiated the contest for all grade levels!
Entries are due back to the CSO by May 27, and on June 19, The Museum of Science will host a live 30 min webinar to announce the winners. There will be one winner per category.
