Merciful and loving Father,
Just as the warmth from a candle rises up to heaven,
Receive and bless our Lenten prayers.
In our Lenten fast, may our hearts be open and ready
to be filled with your love.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of the Lenten season. Lent is a season of turning to God in simplicity and sincerity as we prepare to celebrate the joy of Easter. Life so easily carries us away that we get distracted from our relationship with Jesus. Lent is the time we try with all our hearts to turn back to God through repentance. We also come closer to God by spending more time praying, by fasting, and by giving alms. Many of us make sacrifices during Lent to make our hearts, souls, and minds full with love for God and for our neighbors. All of our work during Lent leads us to Easter, when we will join in celebrating the Resurrection. Students will participate in an all school mass tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. led by the eighth grade class.
Please pray for the second grade class and the Incarnation Religious Education students who will be receiving the sacrament of reconciliation this evening.
God Bless,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
Did you know? If each of our 200 school families purchased scrip to buy gas at approximately $150 per month, we would earn $600 in profit a month or $7,200 per year. All courtesy of Arco/Chevron/Shell. It's that simple.
Electrical Upgrade Update
The design for the update of our electrical infrastructure is approximately 75 – 85% complete. We expect it to be finalized within the next two weeks. Once the design is complete, we will be getting more accurate cost estimates.
