Flexible Instruction Days
This year, the Pennsylvania Department of Education created the opportunity for schools to use Flexible Instruction Days (FIDs) when weather conditions or other situations require schools to be closed. Our new Chromebook technology will assist our students, faculty, and staff to hold FIDs under these circumstances.   Find our policy here. This policy was originally intended to take effect for the 2020-2021 school year, but we will implement the policy now in case the situation regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus) worsens nationwide and requires the use of FIDs. Find the latest guidance papers on the outbreak provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) here, here, and here. Students, faculty, and staff are reminded to stay home if they are sick.

Spiritual Life
The Gospel for Sunday, March 8, 2020 – The 2nd Sunday of Lent
Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very much afraid. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and do not be afraid.” And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but Jesus alone. As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, “Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”--Matthew 17:1-9

Reflection
In today’s Gospel we see the transfigured Christ and hear the voice of the Father: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him.” This is an echo of the story of Jesus’ Baptism. To listen to Jesus is to come to know Him. To listen to Jesus is a call to conversion in our own lives and action to help those in need. To listen to Jesus is to have a burning desire, deep within our hearts and souls, to be transfigured. Lent calls us to conversion, to transfiguration, so that we can truly rejoice with Jesus in the eternal Easter celebration.
Saint of the Week- - Saint Dominic Savio, March 10
A student of Saint John Bosco, Saint Dominic Savio organized a group of students to minister to boys who needed guidance and help. Due to illness, however, Dominic never fulfilled his dream of becoming a priest. He died at the age of 14.

Prayer for the Week--Collect for 2nd Sunday of Lent
O God, who have commanded us to listen to Your beloved Son, be pleased, we pray, to nourish us inwardly by Your word, that, with spiritual sight made pure, we may rejoice to behold Your glory. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Lauren and Spencer Day Memorial Golf Tournament
The 12th Annual Lauren and Spencer Day Golf Tournament and Walk will be held on June 20, 2020, at Rich Valley Golf Course in Mechanicsburg to raise money for the Lauren and Spencer Day Foundation.  This brochure describes the event. Consider joining us and/or making a donation.

The Lauren and Spencer Day Foundation was established to assist families in our community who need financial assistance during a major medical crisis. This Foundation was started by friends of the Day family to assist them while Lauren was battling leukemia. Lauren lost her battle with leukemia in 2000, but the Foundation continued. When Lauren’s brother Spencer died in an automobile accident, his name was added to the Foundation.
