This Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. I share with you a brief excerpt from our Holy Father's message for Lent based on a verse from Matthew “Because of the increase of iniquity, the love of many will grow cold" (Mt 24: 12). Toward the end of the message, Pope Francis says, "Above all, I urge the members of the Church to take up the Lenten journey with enthusiasm, sustained by almsgiving, fasting and prayer. If, at times, the flame of charity seems to die in our own hearts, know that this is never the case in the heart of God! He constantly gives us a chance to begin loving anew." My constant prayer is an end to iniquity and injustice in the world and that love will conquer all.
This week has many things happening:
Monday - CPR class in the Media Center (no faculty meeting)
Tuesday - 1st and 4th grade are going to the State Fair
Wednesday - Ash Wednesday
Thursday - 5th grade is on a field trip celebrating Chinese New Year (I will be joining them). Charles will be at TC at a meeting. If you need anything comes up that can't wait, check with Julianne.
Friday - End of the trimester, Fish Fry, and 7th grade Living Stations in the evening.
Saturday - Confirmation
Monday 2/19 - No School
Tuesday 2/20 - grades due at 8 a.m.
You may have noticed a difference in you Jan. 30 paycheck. New tax laws have changed how much federal tax is withdrawn and the Diocese used the new tables in that paycheck.
Have a blessed week.
