APRIL PARENT MEETING - Sunday, April 11th - CANCELLED
Sarah and I decided that you all have worked so hard this year, we wanted to give you the gift of time. Therefore, we have cancelled this Sunday's April Parent Meeting. The essays for the background on these final two lessons can be found on page 317 and 320 in your Parent Guide. As always, let me know if you have any questions
The April activities are the final activities for our year of Prayer. May will be spent preparing our children for First Holy Communion and in June I will look to schedule one final family event to close out our year.

This Sunday, April 11th is Divine Mercy Sunday!
Watch the video below on St. Faustina to learn more about this beautiful saint and the institution of Divine Mercy Sunday. This month, try praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet (see the video below) and/or pray the 3 O'Clock Prayer to the Divine Mercy. Look at page 248 in your A Family of Faith Parent Guide for directions. What a simple way to remember the great love Jesus had for us all as he was willing to die on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins!
