PSR families,


It's been nearly a month since we all gathered together, and we are excited to see you all this week!


Looking Ahead:

Feb 26th: Class

March 5th: Ashes and Class

March 12th: Class

March 19th: Class


With recent snow days, we are modifying our class on March 5th which is Ash Wednesday. We will be opening our time together with a Liturgy of the Word followed by the distribution of ashes. All parents, siblings, and friends are welcome to join us! This will not be a full Mass, since Ash Wednesday is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation. Following our prayer service, students will return to their classroom for a make-up lesson. Dismissal will be as usual at 6:30pm.




While we are still in Ordinary Time, Lent is looming around the corner in March!


We hope to see you at our upcoming Fish Frys.

Have a student needing volunteer hours? Love to bake? Click the flyer below to sign up to volunteer, and back this year we are accepting NUT FREE homemade desserts. Feel free to drop your desserts off at the PSR front desk on Wednesday evenings, or W-Fr from 7:30-3:30 in the CCC.



We have a couple different opportunities during Lent that we want to invite all parents to attend.




If any 7th and 8th graders need their next books, they are available in the parish office lobby. If you have any books you finished using, they can be dropped in the drop box.





See you on February 26th for class!

Report an absence here!


Luke 6:27-38

This week we hear Jesus warning us to notice the beam in our own eyes, and remove it, before trying to take out the splinter in our neighbor's eye. And encourages us that good trees bear good fruit, while rotten trees bear bad fruit. He calls us to acknowledge our sins and shortcomings, before we point out and correct our neighbor's flaws. Jesus doesn't deny that the splinter is there, but reminds us to be humble first and foremost. At times we will have to offer correction, but we should always do so in a spirit of humility and honesty of our own flaws as well.


On the way to Mass: Do you think people like to be corrected? What makes it easier?


On the way home from Mass: What do you think is harder: correcting someone else, or correcting yourself? What does Jesus say to do?


Challenge of the Week: When you pray together this week, make time to ask for forgiveness, acknowledging the times you did not love well. I was impatient today getting out the door, please forgive me.
