Good and Gracious God,
You call your people to you this Lent.
May this sacred season renew our desire to live fully the promises of our
baptism and to love you with a whole heart.
Through more frequent prayer, acts of charity, and fasting,
may we remember that loving you and one another
is the most important thing we can do.
In confidence, we ask these things through Jesus Christ
Our Risen Lord and Savior.
Amen
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.
Sincerely,
G. Consitt
