Discovering Our Faith
Join Fr. Michael Carey for a lecture on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The meeting will be held tonight Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Religious Education classroom.
Please bring your bible and read the psalms and the liturgy of the hours, CCC 2585-2589.
Food for Family Thought
Telling stories of people in your life who exemplify the virtues that matter most to you is an effective way to communicate those virtues to your child. Think of someone in your life who manifested courage, generosity, or honesty, and
tell your child a story about the person that conveys your admiration and respect.
If you had to award a gold medal to someone other than your parent (or child), to whom would you give it and for what reason?

Our 7th and 8th students and families volunteer to clean our community this Saturday Feb. 25. We will meet at City Hall, 2035 Colorado Blvd.
Our students will wear their PE uniform so everyone will know who we are.
