Dear Saint Rose Families,
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the beginning of our 40 days of Lent. Fr. George led the student body at Mass and reminded them of the importance of this season.
Today the students participated in a workshop/lab focused on the Lenten Work of Mercy, "Give Drink to the Thirsty." The phrase, "I Thirst" can be found throughout the building. Seeing this phrase, students are reminded of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross, our own spiritual thirst, and the marginalized of the world who thirst for clean water. Ms. Weiner's art students created a cactus to remind us of the desert and of Lent. Mrs. Sarra's forth grade students posted facts about water and ecology from around the world.
We are blessed to be at a school where we can explore and talk about our faith. In doing so we find that it extends beyond the church pew and into the classroom, and from there to our homes, communities and poorest communities in the farthest corners of the world. Today taught us empathy, reminded us of the ecology of our common home and evangelized our spirits.
Sincerely,
|

WATER, WATER ANYWHERE
 Today all students in grades K-8 participated in a series of stations involving water. This program connects with our Lenten Work of Mercy, "Give Drink to the Thirsty." It also connects with the Pope's document, "Laudato Si," that the faculty studied and reflected on during their retreat a few weeks ago. This document encourages us to take better care of all of God's Creation.
Water is an invaluable resource. Some countries have abundant water resources while others have a scarcity. Still others have water available, but it remains inaccessible due to economic constraints. Today students visited three stations to learn more about these different water situations. Facilitators for the stations were Youth Minister Tom Hagerty and parishioners John Brahier and Hal Mann. The fourth station was at the Baptismal Font in church where Deacon Michael Sarra reminded the students of the importance of water at their Baptism.
Students are bringing home two bottles today. One is a cleaned disposable water bottle that has been re-fashioned as a bank to collect money during Lent. We hope that students will do extra chores or share gift money during Lent. These donations will be given to SCORE (Dr. Paat's medical service trips) who will use the money to purchase water purifiers for families in countries with unsafe drinking water. The purifier costs $11 and can filter 100,000 gallons of water.
The second bottle contains holy water. We encourage your family to use this water in your Lenten prayer activities at home. The bottle can be re-filled from the dispenser in the western vestibule of the church. May this be a holy Lent for your family!
Saint Rose School thanks Kroger Pharmacy and school parents Carrie Hoyt and Diana Szymanski for arranging the donation of the bottles used to contain the holy water.

Saint Rose School middle school students recently wrote letters to prison inmates as part of our Year of Mercy. Parishioner Karl Motter, took those letters to Milan Michigan and the federal prison there for a yearly retreat that he helps to lead. Mr. Motter met with our students and shared the impact that their anonymous letters had on the inmates. He said that they all have a feeling that the world has forgotten them. The letters from our students reminded them that someone cares for them and is praying for them.
