Lent
Each year, we celebrate the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday – the 7th Wednesday before Easter. Lent is a time devoted to Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving in memory of Christ’s fasting in the wilderness. The day before Ash Wednesday, we recognize Shrove Tuesday, also called Pancake Tuesday or Fat Tuesday – a day when families traditionally would use up rich foods such as eggs, milk, and sugar before the fasting season – the 40 days of Lent.
Pancake Tuesday – Tuesday, February 21st
Thanks to our Catholic School Advisory Council, every student will receive two pancakes here at school on Tuesday! Students are asked to bring their own plate and utensils, if possible. Disposable plates and cutlery will be provided for students if needed. A big thanks to Remember Me Family for catering the event!
Ash Wednesday, – Wednesday, February 22nd
Parents and family are welcome to join our community as we celebrate the beginning of Lent with our Ash Wednesday liturgy at 12:40 p.m. today.
Elementary School Nutrition Update
In an effort to be more environmentally conscious, we along with our suppliers have decided we will no longer be sending cutlery with any lunches.
If you have ordered lunches that require cutlery please be sure to send it from home.
Thank you for your Support
