Lenten Reconciliation - Grades 3-5
I
n early March, Fr. Phil will be celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation with students in grades 3-5. Our religion teachers will be reviewing with the students how the Church celebrates this Sacrament.
In the past, we have invited priests in our diocese to assist with Reconciliation. Fr. Phil decided this year that he would spend the time offering Reconciliation to all of the students on his own. As such, over a series of several days, each section in grades 3-5 will have a designated time for private Reconciliation. Mr. Planche will oversee the children while they are waiting for their turn and will help them to decide at the final moment what they wish to talk to Fr. about.
It is a privilege to have this opportunity to celebrate with your children. Please me mindful that Reconciliation is also offered every Saturday before the 4:30pm Mass, beginning at 3:30pm.

Living Stations of the Cross
Our eighth grade class is preparing to share their faith with our parish and school with the annual presentation of the Living Stations of the Cross. Significant to our Lenten formation, our eighth graders tell the great story of Jesus' passion and death through their tableau presentation.
On Wednesday,
March 28 at 7:00pm
in St. Ursula, our students will offer the MBS parish family and their parents the first of three presentations.
Eighth graders will offer two additional presentations on
Thursday, March 29 at 9:00am
(for K-4) and 10:15am (for 5th-7th)
to lead our students into the Triduum celebrations of the Church.

From the Office of Child Protection:
Important Notification:
Our Child Protection site supervisor, Ms. Beverly Peterson, will be out of the office for an extended period of time for a series of medical treatments. We have a certified volunteer who met with the Diocese and will be available for a few hours each week. Processing time of child protection applications will be affected. As such, if you are planning to volunteer, please pick up your packet at least a month before your volunteer event will occur. Packets may be picked up in the Office of Christian Formation from 8:30-2:30 Monday-Thursday. Please pray for a quick recovery for Ms. Peterson. We thank you in advance for your patience.
Parents,
I
n order to volunteer at MBS School, the school child protection process must be completed. This includes four parts-a completed volunteer application, certificate of completion of online training, signatory page from the Code of Ethics, and a fingerprint background check.
Please note that if you have been deemed compliant with the Parish for scouts, sports (grades K-4), etc. you are
NOT
compliant with the school child protection process until you have completed the fingerprint background check. The fingerprint background check is an extra step required to volunteer in a school. The paperwork for the fingerprint background check is available through my office.
If you have any questions concerning your compliance, please contact Beverly Peterson at
bpeterson@mbsbr.org
or at
225-753-5526
. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
Parents, please do not go to the state police to be fingerprinted without the necessary paperwork to have the proper background check run.
