Prayers for Pope Leo XIV
We invite our school community to join us in praying for Pope Leo XIV, who has been diagnosed with lung cancer. The attached prayer card asks for the intercession of St. Peregrine, patron saint of those with cancer, and our Blessed Mother. Let us keep Pope Leo XIV in our prayers and entrust him to the loving care of Our Lady of the Rosary.

St. Luke the Evangelist
Oct. 18th
"Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” - Luke 12:22-26
