Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
February 11, 2021
Dear Parents,
This coming Wednesday we begin the season of Lent, a season of reflection and preparation before the celebration of Easter. For the forty days of Lent we remember and model Jesus' days of fasting and prayer. Father Suskey will begin our Lenten journey with a Prayer Service and Distribution of Ashes for faculty, staff and students during the school day in the gym. Throughout the Lenten season, students will also participate in Stations of the Cross in Church. Here are some simple things you can do at home as a family during the Lenten season:
- Motivate your children to do good deeds and make sacrifices.
- Give something up for Lent as a family.
- Add extra prayers to your daily life.
- Set up an offering jar and at the end of Lent, donate it to a worthy cause.
- Decide one day of the week during Lent to go technology free.
- Read the Bible or one Saint story a day as a family.
Father, help me to see this holy season of Lent as a time of spiritual renewal, rather than a time of deprivation. Motivate me to reach a new level of experiencing your grace.
Thank you for your constant support and prayers for our school. I encourage you to continue to support our work as we advance our mission to provide a transformative education steeped in academics and faith to our deserving students. There is no greater investment for forming our future saints than a Catholic education!
Please carefully review this week's newsletter for many reminders and updates. We thank you for entrusting your children to us and for the sacrifices you make each day to send your child(ren) to Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic School.
God's peace,
Mrs. Barbara Riley
Principal
