A Message from the Principal
We are about to enter into the Triduum, the holiest days of the year. They begin on the evening of Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper when we recall that Jesus gave his body and blood and taught us to care for others when he washed the disciples’ feet. They continue on Good Friday with the celebration of the Lord’s Passion as we remember Christ’s sacrifice for us. On the night of Holy Saturday, we celebrate the great Easter Vigil, when our Savior bursts out of the tomb, and on Easter Sunday we continue to celebrate the Resurrection with great joy. On these days, we remember the final events in Jesus’ earthly life. The following is Incarnation Church’s Holy Week schedule:
- Holy Thursday – Missa in Cena Domini - Mass of the Lord’s Supper at 7:30 p.m.
- Good Friday – Stations of the Cross at 2:00 p.m.; Celebration of the Lord’s Passion at 3:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
- Holy Saturday – Solemn Easter Vigil at 8:00 p.m.
- Easter Sunday – Regular Sunday Mass schedule
On Wednesday, the 8th grade class will present the living Stations of the Cross at 11:00 a.m. outdoors by the lunch benches. Parents are welcome to join us.
As we approach the Triduum, I pray that you have a blessed Holy Week and joyous Easter. May your Easter week be filled with peace and happiness.
Sincerely,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

Holiday Gift from the Americana at Brand
Through the participation of our families and teachers during the 2011 holiday season, a donation in the amount $1,008.00 was made to the school for purchases made at The Americana and at The Grove. Thank you for your support!
Lenten Soup Supper
Thanks to all who supported our Lenten soup supper last week. We shared delicious soups and brought in $490.00! The Incarnation Hospitality Committee takes this money to donate to the poor.
Carpool Reminders
During morning drop off, please do not cross the parking lot with your children. For student safety, they are to be dropped off by the planters where carpool volunteers can assist as needed. Crossing the carpool line when parents are hurriedly dropping off their children poses a risk to students crossing, even if an adult is holding their hand.
Ralphs-Kroger Contribution
We received a check from Ralphs-Kroger in the amount of $1,043.50 for Ralphs scrip participation. Thanks for your support!
Summer School
The summer school registration form is enclosed. The program is open to incoming 1st through 5th graders.
