Holy God,
Grant us grace to stand on the firm ground of faith.
Give us hope to shelter us from every storm,
and feed us daily with your life-giving love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
On Friday, our teachers and the Incarnation Religious Education staff will attend the annual Religious Education Congress in Anaheim. The Religious Education Congress offers workshops to those in catechetical and related ministries focused on the Catholic faith and personal growth. This is the largest annual gathering of its kind with approximately 40,000 attending each year. The Religious Education Congress focuses on teaching more about the Catholic faith and offers workshops on personal growth. The school office will be closed on this day.
Sincerely,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
