Family Messenger, April 24, 2012

God of life, 
May your life be our life,
 filling us with strength and joy, 
giving us faith in your goodness 
 And hope in your mercy. Amen. 


A Message from the Principal
On Saturday, the 8th grade class presented the “Because We Care” benefit concert with proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. The class has been fundraising for this cause over the course of the year after their classmate, Brittany Lanham, was diagnosed with leukemia. As Brittany and her family celebrate the end of chemotherapy, the class and special guest performers from Incarnation School put on a wonderful show! Thank you to all who supported the concert. The class raised over $4,000 – well beyond their $2,000 goal!
I also wish to congratulate the 2nd graders on their sacrament of Reconciliation. Some received the sacrament yesterday evening and others are looking forward to this Thursday. God bless you on this special occasion!

Sincerely,


Ms. Olivia Carrillo,Principal
