Hi Grade 2 Families,
This past week, we began our Lenten journey. On Ash Wednesday, the children were able to watch Mass together as well as receive ashes and a blessing from Father Smith. We also discussed the three pillars of Lent—prayer, fasting, and almsgiving and reflected on what we could do over the next 40 days to transform our hearts to become more like Jesus.
We start the First Communion program this week! It is a joyous time as the children get to know more about Jesus and develop their relationship with Him, in preparation for this beautiful sacrament. Please see your email for more information.
Here are the reminders for the week:
