Today is the day we honor all US presidents even though the federal government still calls it Washington's Birthday. In 1879, Congress made Washington's Birthday a federal holiday. In an effort to honor Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is also in February, the holiday became known as President's Day. I actually think it was the retail industry who changed the name which is why most people call today President's Sales Day. Whatever you call today, take a moment to remember our past leaders and pray for our current and future ones.

Thank you to our 7th grade class who did a super job with Stations of the Cross. It was prayerful and moving and as I left I heard only good things from the adults who were there. Confirmation was beautiful and Bishop Parkes was awesome as always. Thank you Krista for being the photographer for the event. I hope some of you will have the opportunity to take part in the Parish Lenten Mission Monday - Wednesday evening from 7:00 - 8:15 p.m.
Enjoy the short week. Please email your conference schedule to me by Wednesday so I can inform the office.
