Message from Mrs. Trachsel
|
O God, help me to live Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday as powerful moments that allow me to enter ever further into the great mystery of our faith - the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. May this be a positive time to rediscover my need for your tenderness and closeness, and to return to you with all my heart.
Pope Francis
Special thanks to the Home and School Association (and volunteer helpers) for organizing our very special Father-Daughter dance.
Our six weeks of Lenten sacrifices and prayers will bring us joyfully to Easter Sunday on April 16th. Throughout the Lenten journey students made Lenten promises. It was great to see students reflect on their promises, and grow closer to God during this time. I hope that you have a prayerful Holy Week, beginning this past Palm Sunday and ending at the Easter Vigil, and Mass on the evening of Holy Saturday. Easter Sunday is the celebration of the Risen Christ for Christians around the world. Below you will find the St. Peter & St. Andrew holy week schedule.
