Dear Families, 

Today is Holy Thursday, a day (more, an evening) when we remember the Last Supper and Jesus’ betrayal. On Holy Thursday, Jesus gives us the Eucharist, and institutes the priesthood. As He washes the feet of his disciples, Jesus enforces the call for us all to be humble servant leaders, caring for one another, and not seeing ourselves as greater than another. We are all called to be the Hands and Feet of Christ, and Jesus shared that call with us on that very day, more than 2000 years ago. You can learn more about that here. 

Tonight, the staff and faculty invite you (with your bowls and spoons) to our Annual Soup Supper from 5:30- 7 in the gym, preceding the Holy Thursday Mass at 7pm. This meal is a wonderful opportunity to be in communion with one another. This is our staff service project, and it is completely free to all of you. Bring your families, a friend, a neighbor, your grandparents, a stranger! All are welcome. Please bring your Rice Bowls to support the great work of CRS and our call to give too those in need, during Lent. 

Tomorrow from 11-12 please join us to commemorate and honor Jesus’ final hours with the Stations of the Cross, our most sacred day of our faith life, led by our 7th graders. Here, we move through the final moments, and also take a new twist on the traditional stations, focusing on social justice, as our students align to their call to be missionary disciples. FULL DRESS UNIFORM FOR ALL.

Tomorrow is a Noon Dismissal for all. No EDC or ELC aftercare. Thank you for keeping this day Holy and solemn, as we honor Jesus' sacrifice so that we might have life.
