Father,
At our Baptism you filled the water with the grace of your Son. Through that holy water and the Holy Spirit, we were washed clean from sin; our old sinful self was buried with Christ so that we could rise with him to a new life. May this new life fill us with joy and make us living water for all the world.
Amen.
Last Friday the teachers attended the annual Religious Education Congress in Anaheim. The Religious Education Congress offers in-service education and spiritual formation to those in catechetical and related ministries. Each teacher registered to attend three workshops of their choice covering a vast range of topics from spirituality, music, and personal development to biblical studies and catechesis.
Next Monday teachers will participate in another workshop focused on differentiated instruction and writing across the curriculum. This is possible because of Title IIA funding made available to us from the Glendale Unified School District. Please note that this is a full-day workshop and there will be No school/No ASP on Monday, March 10.
High schools will be mailing out acceptance letters to the eighth graders this week. Please keep them in your prayers as they await their replies.
Have a great week and God bless.
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal
