Saint Dominic School Academic Excellence - Catholic Values

Message from Mrs. Tonkovich

Partners in Faith

Lent is an opportunity to strengthen our family commitment to our spiritual growth. The main article on page one suggests five ways we can grow together to prepare for the joy of Easter. The popular ParentTalk feature shares a common problem families can have when attending Mass with children: inattentive, disruptive youngsters vs. embarrassed parents. One parent shares how she addressed her family’s Mass inattention with the help of her pastor. God always answers prayers, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. Scripture Lesson details the story of Lazarus’ fatal illness, his sister’s desperate prayer, and Jesus’ most unexpected answer.

Discover these articles & more in the March issue of Partners in Faith!

Partners in Faith also supplies a calendar with a faith-filled activity for each day of Lent for families.
