A Message from our Principal
Our 8th graders led the school in praying the Holy Rosary. After the Rosary, we talked about the coming of the Season of Lent. Lent is a time of reflection and of turning our hearts to God. Jesus spent forty days in the desert after He was baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus fasted for these forty days and was tempted by the devil many times.
Like Jesus, we have forty days of Lent. During these forty days, we must intentionally concentrate on converting our hearts and move closer to our Creator God.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve

CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES RICE BOWL
CRS Rice Bowl is Catholic Relief Services’ Lenten program for families and faith communities in the United States who want to put their faith in action. In its first 40 years, more than $250 million has been given through CRS Rice Bowl to support programs that prevent hunger and poverty around the world. Cardboard CRS Rice Bowls and Lenten calendars have been sent home with all students today. Use your cardboard CRS Rice Bowl and Lenten calendar to guide your Lenten prayer, fasting and almsgiving this Lenten season. Be sure to visit crsricebowl.org to watch videos of the people and communities whose lives your Lenten gifts are changing. CRS Rice Bowls should be returned to the school office by April 26, 2019.
