Run for the (Saint) Roses
As we begin our 40 days of Lent, we are reminded to increase our prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
For our school's collective almsgiving and in conjunction with the 150th birthday celebration of our school, we are designating our sister school, Saint Rose of Ferrier, Haiti as the recipient of our Lenten donations.
The theme is "Run for the (Saint) Roses". Each homeroom will have its own monetary goal, based on the number of students in the class. The goal will be $5 per child, though we will not be keeping track of individual offerings. We will encourage students and families to be generous beyond that amount, but the class goal is based on $5 per student. Each homeroom will be able to designate how their class donation is used. More details to follow.
Each week we will include information about Saint Rose of Haiti in this electronic communication so that families can also be informed. We encourage students to "earn" their donations to the extent possible through extra chores or sharing of gift money.
Students are encouraged to make a weekly donation on the day of Mass.
Thank you for your generosity.
