Everlasting God, we give you thanks for you nourish and strengthen us with your merciful love. Give us this day our daily bread. We pray for those who hunger, with no food for their children. Together, we cry out for justice. Give us this day our daily bread. Help us to share generously as one global family, and to hold onto hope for a world transformed. Bread of life, we pray your people may find life and joy in all its fullness.
Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Dear Families,
I ended my week by praying the Stations of the Cross on Friday at 5:30pm with our parish and school community. All three of our advisory boards – School Board, PTG and Athletic Board were represented. It was the perfect way to end my week. All are invited on Fridays during Lent to meet in the church at 5:30pm for the Stations of the Cross.
Faith Families:
Last week we met with our Faith Families. The students began their Faith Families by praying for people in the Alameda Deanery who are either beginning their faith journey in our church or being received into the faith. The families then participated in a Lenten activity together. I always love watching the 8
th
graders take leadership and work with the younger students.
