Dear Parents/Guardians:
As busy as we all get in our own
lives, we can never forget that we
are on a spiritual journey.
Throughout this season of Lent we
are reminded of Jesus in the
desert; Jesus carrying the cross;
Jesus on the cross. At Easter, we
will celebrate the Resurrection.
During Lent we can take the time
to reflect on the choices we make
in our lives and commit to finding
ways to make greater
improvements.
We are very blessed here at Pope
John Paul II School to have the
opportunity to work together as a
Catholic community: teachers,
parents, students and Church. We
are blessed to be involved in so
many activities beyond the
mandated demands of the
academic program. May we
continue to appreciate one
another and the significant efforts
of all the partners within our
community.
