ROYAL REVIEW (4-16-2021)
To be Christ-centered in our words, thoughts, and actions.
THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION
Last night, I was blessed to attend my youngest daughter's Confirmation. I always find Bishop Rhoades' Masses wonderful; but to witness my daughter receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, was so beautiful.
Our 8th Grade parents will be able to receive this same blessing next week, on Tuesday, April 20, 2021, @ the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Please pray for the following Confirmandi who will be receiving the Holy Spirit in Sacrament:
Danna Chiqui
Rafael Chiqui Sotamba
Jimena Delira-Quintana
Destiny Espinoza
Giovanni Espinoza
Brayden Gerardot
Darla Lozada
Morgan McLaughlin
Daniel Navarro
Mia Nino
Kylie Reitman
Angela Vazquez
Many the Lord continue to bless these 12 Confirmandi as they continue the journey.
VIRTUE = STRENGTH
Our virtue this week is ENDURANCE - The strength to suffer through adversity with courage. Beginning new activities is relatively easy but sticking with them, especially when the “newness” wears off and the going gets tough … only through ENDURANCE will we fight through and accomplish our goals and dreams.
PRAYER TO ST SEBASTIAN
Dear Commander at the Roman Emperor's court, you chose to be a soldier of Christ and dared to spread faith in the King of Kings---for which you were condemned to die. Your body, however, proved athletically strong and the executing arrows extremely weak. So another means to kill you was chosen and you gave your life to the Lord.
May all of us be always as strong in our faith as you have been. Amen.

LET THE CHILDREN LEAD ROSARY
Queen of Angels is honored to have 50 students represent our school on Thursday, April 22nd, for the Let the Children Lead Rosary. We will join students from Bishop Dwenger High School, and be video taped at the Catholic Cemetery. Once the 50 students are determined, those parents will receive an email or letter informing them that their child/ren will not arrive back at the school until 2:30 pm. This is a 2:00 pm early dismissal, so that is the reason for the letter.
