Family Messenger, March 31, 2009


Almighty God,
Everything your Son did proved who he is.
Help us to believe in him more and more
so that we might help others on the path.
We ask this through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.


A Message from the Principal

Tomorrow Incarnation School will sponsor the soup supper at 6:00 p.m. in the auditorium. We are in need of soups! Please contact Doug Bennett at jugndune@earthlink.net if you are able to bring in soup for this dinner.

The Grail Theater of Britain performed Jesus of Nazareth for all of our students this morning. During this 45-minute program, the students witnessed important moments throughout the life of Jesus—his baptism, the temptation in the desert, the healing of a blind man, the raising of Lazarus, Pilate’s decision, and the crucifixion (symbolically) to name a few. This was a great show and can be nice discussion starter at home as we prepare for Holy Week.

Have a blessed week!

Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Preschool News

Last Sunday after each Mass, parishioners were invited to attend the Open House at the Incarnation annex on Central. Visitors had the opportunity to see the completed rooms and the work-in-progress. Our preschool classrooms look fabulous thanks to our director, Mrs. Rosemarie Muscarella. Once we have our license, we will send out information regarding registration for our tentative grand opening in September. This Wednesday, we are having our first inspection to have the classrooms measured. This inspection will determine how many students we can accommodate in each classroom.

Thank you to all who have donated items for the preschool. We are still in need of gently used books that are appropriate for 3-5 year olds. If you have any books you would like to donate, please bring them to the school office.
