The Lenten season is a time of prayer, fasting and almsgiving to prepare our hearts to truly celebrate the Passion, Death, Resurrection and Ascension of our Lord Jesus (called the Paschal Mystery.)

The students will celebrate Mass on Ash Wednesday, February 22nd at 10:00 am. Parents and guests are welcome to join us for this celebration. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, and Lent ends with the beginning of Holy Week, on Holy Thursday (sometimes also called Maundy Thursday), when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples to show us how to serve, and also when he instituted the Eucharist as he shared the Passover meal with his disciples.

Check next week’s Hawk Weekly for some ideas of what to do or give up to make your Lent a holy one!!!
