BMCHS Weekly Newsletter

From the Desk of the Principal

Dear Bishop Family -

I hope this newsletter finds you well and enjoying the extended weekend. Please take time to review and set your clock’s ahead one hour. Students will return to campus on Wednesday, March 15, with a DAY 1 schedule.

Today is the last day to purchase your 20^th Anniversary Navy & Gold Gala Tickets. Tickets may be purchased at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/mu3org/event/860841/. As always, thank you for your continued support!

Lent is a time to prepare our hearts and minds for Easter, and the Church recommends prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to focus our preparation. While “the three pillars of Lent” are practiced all year round, we intensify our devotion to these pillars during Lent as we pause and reflect on our relationship with God.

Please join me in a Lenten prayer by Pope Pius V:

Look with favor, Lord,

on your household.

Grant that,

though our flesh be humbled

by abstinence from food,

our souls, hungering after you,

may be resplendent in your sight.

Take care and create peace,

Ms. Jenalisa Zummo

Principal
