Week of February 15, 2021

 Welcome back after a long weekend!

As a reminder, SCHOOL IS OPEN this week.

This week we celebrate Ash Wednesday,  Mass for Students 10:00 AM

 *To address COVID-19 guidelines students will have ashes sprinkled on their heads. There will be no placing of ashes on students foreheads.*

During the season of Lent students will participate in the Stations of the Cross on Fridays at 2:00 PM

The Stations of the Cross are a 14-step Catholic devotion that commemorates Jesus Christ's last day on Earth as a man. The 14 devotions, or stations, focus on specific events of His last day, beginning with His condemnation. The stations are commonly used as a mini pilgrimage as the individual moves from station to station. At each station, the individual recalls and meditates on a specific event from Christ's last day. Specific prayers are recited, then the individual moves to the next station until all 14 are complete.
