Dear Parents,
Holy Week is a solemn period for us, remembering Christ’s last days from Palm Sunday
to Good Friday and then on to Easter Sunday.
This next week, in addition to adoration, some of our students will attend the Chrism
Mass at the Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral on Tuesday. We as a school will observe
the Adoration of the Cross” during the Celebration of the Passion. It is at this time that the students will approach the cross and venerate. This powerful ritual encapsulates the
deep sorrow of the day while acknowledging the sacrifice of our Lord.
Since this is only for our students, we will live stream this for our parents.

Please join us this week as we pray.
Heavenly Father, in this sacred time of Holy Week,
we implore Your divine guidance and wisdom.
We meditate on the profound mysteries of our faith,
especially the paschal mystery of Christ’s
passion, death, and resurrection.
Grant us clarity to articulate the beauty
of these truths to those seeking answers.
Strengthen our resolve to defend our beliefs
with charity and conviction.
May the grace of this season
transform hearts and minds,
leading souls closer to your truth and salvation.
We humbly ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with you
forever and ever. Amen.
God Bless,
Mrs. Hoy

Estimados padres,
La Semana Santa es un período solemne para nosotros, en el que recordamos los últimos días de Cristo, desde el Domingo de Ramos hasta el Viernes Santo y el Domingo de Pascua.
La próxima semana, además de la Adoración, algunos de nuestros alumnos asistirán a la Misa Crismal en la Catedral de San Pedro y San Pablo el martes. Como colegio, celebraremos la Adoración de la Cruz durante la Celebración de la Pasión. En ese momento, los alumnos se acercarán a la cruz y la venerarán. Este poderoso ritual encapsula el profundo dolor del día, a la vez que reconoce el sacrificio de nuestro Señor.
Dado que esto es solo para nuestros alumnos, lo transmitiremos en vivo para nuestros padres.

Acompáñenos esta semana en nuestra oración.
Padre Celestial,
en este tiempo sagrado de Semana Santa, imploramos tu divina guía y sabiduría.
Meditamos en los profundos misterios de nuestra fe,
especialmente el misterio pascual de la pasión, muerte y resurrección de Cristo.
Concédenos claridad para expresar la belleza
de estas verdades a quienes buscan respuestas.
Fortalece nuestra determinación de defender nuestras creencias
con caridad y convicción.
Que la gracia de este tiempo
transforme corazones y mentes,
acercando a las almas a tu verdad y salvación.
Te lo pedimos humildemente por nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Cristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
Que Dios los bendiga
Sra. Hoy
