Sharing Our Faith - Sr. Mara Anne Palomares, O.P.

Please continue to keep Sr. Mara Anne and the Dominican sisters in your prayers. A Mass of resurrection will be celebrated on Monday evening at Mission

San Gabriel.

Sr. Mara Anne touched many, many lives and was a very special member of our faculty. Several of our students will represent St. Ignatius, one of sister's most beloved communities, during the Mass, and there will be an honor guard of boys from St. Catherine's Military School, where sister served on the administrative team for many years.

Sister Mara Anne will be buried on Thursday at the MSJ Dominican Motherhouse in Fremont, California. I will be flying to San Jose to attend the service and will take your thoughts and prayers with me.

Sister was a kind and loving person. She made each person she encountered feel loved, whether old or young. She lived a life full of selfless service.

By her life and her example, she lived out the Dominican pillars of Study, Prayer, Service, and Community.

We have been blessed to have had her with us at St. Ignatius these last few years and she will be greatly missed.

All are invited to pray the Stations of the Cross with us each Friday of school during the season of Lent. We will think about Jesus' way to the cross with a spoken reflection on March 2nd at 2 pm and March 9th at 2pm. On March 23rd, the 8th graders will present the Living Stations of the Cross at 11 am and then again at 6:30 pm

Thanks to all who have made their February Tuition payments. A few payments are still outstanding. Please stop by the office or call Ms. Maryellen to make arrangements for payment.

It is time to re-register for next year! Be sure to re-register early so you can be among the first to secure your child's spot and meet with Mrs. Wade to review your contract for next year.

Families requesting financial assistance should schedule contract meetings as soon as dates are announced while aid money is available.

CATHOLIC EDUCATION FOUNDATION Scholarship Appointments must now be made on line. ALL FAMILIES REQUESTING ANY FINANCIAL AID MUST FILL OUT CEF APPLICATIONS. Applications were sent to all families via Gradelink email.

Catholic Schools Parent Survey

Dear Falcon Families,

PLEASE BE SURE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS SURVEY!

Something BIG is happening - at our school and beyond. We’re going to share how incredible our Catholic school and others in the Archdiocese of LA are. But before that happens, we need some feedback (but there are great prizes!).

First - we need to hear from YOU. The goal of the survey is to better understand what you value the most in your child’s education, and the results will be used to help understand why you chose our school and make improvements for the future.

Second - we need to hear from your friends. Any of your peer parents with school-aged children who do not attend a Catholic School. We need to understand what they value in the education of their children. Please text and email this survey to your friends, and share it on your social media channels.

If our school is one of the top 3 schools to have the most Catholic Parents in the LA, Santa Barbara or Ventura counties complete the survey - we could win a grant up to $3,000. So, please share with any Catholic parent in our area you can think of!

Take the Survey!
