Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the third block comes to a close, I am so pleased to see all the amazing things our Blazers are doing! The Class of 2022 has had acceptances and scholarship offers rolling in. Our Spring Dance Concert on Friday showcased the stellar Dance Team and IB Dancers, spring sports season is off to a great start, with more than a third of our students participating in one of our spring teams, and today we officially dedicated and blessed the newly renovated auditorium (Check out our social media for pictures).
While we prepare to enjoy a much-deserved break, to rest, relax and perhaps travel, the Holy Father asks that we join him in prayer for the people of Ukraine, who are certainly not able to have any break this spring. On Friday, March 25 Pope Francis asks that Catholics around the world join him in consecrating Russia and Ukraine to Mary. Unfortunately, during the exact time that the Holy Father will be saying the prayer (11 am Chicago time), our Blazers will be deep in concentration during their last exam.
However, all Blazers are invited to join me in our chapel immediately following exams to pray for the consecration of Ukraine and Russia to Mary, the Queen of Peace. Prayer will begin promptly at 12 noon. Mary is the Patroness of Trinity High School, and through her intercession, the Holy Trinity has showered us with blessings. Let us commend the peace-loving people of Ukraine and Russia to her care.
Wishing you blessings for a safe spring break!
Warmly,
|
