February 11 |
Dear Friends,
This Lenten season begins this week with the Burning of the Palms on Tuesday morning at 9:00 AM. All are welcome as Father Cipriani leads the students in prayer and burns palms to make the ash to be used at our Ash Wednesday Mass the following day. We will celebrate Ash Wednesday at the Parish Mass at 9:30 AM, as always families are invited to celebrate with our school community.
As we move through this special season I invite you to attend one of our most moving and wonderful events, the Living Stations of the Cross.
Mrs. Yoney leads the 8th grade students in this gut wrenching walk with Jesus on his final day. The Living Rosary will be celebrated twice this year and it is my hope that you can plan to attend at least one of these dates. The first Living Stations will be at 1:30 PM on February 28. A second group of students will perform the Living Stations at 1:30 PM on March 14.
The Stations of the Cross is always a powerful and moving celebration, it is even more impressive, when performed live by our students. I hope to see you all there.
Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal
