Wednesday Parent Reminders

Wednesday, March 5, 2025

From the Principal

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.

Psalm 51

Hello Everyone,

As we begin the season of Lent on Ash Wednesday, let us embrace the reminder that we are all dust and to dust we shall return. This is a time to humbly examine our lives, repent of our sins, and renew our commitment to God through prayer, fasting, and acts of charity.

Many thanks to Janine Schoen, Stephanie Nelson, and the Dinner Dance committee for a fabulous event last Saturday night. It was wonderful to see so many members of the parish community celebrating the 65th anniversary. Check out this special video about the school that highlights why St. Emily School is such a special place.

Have an awesome week!

Ms. Booth
