St. Teresa of Calcutta said that “it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.” Lent is a time of prayer, fasting and almsgiving and it is not important how much we do or how much we give, but how love we put into our actions. For our Lenten journey we are asking the community to follow those words of our patron saint.
Our motto is to Lead with Love and that is exactly what we are asking of the school community during our Lenten Adventure. We have created a Lenten calendar based on the following categories:
- The Three Pillars of Lent: Monday – Prayer, Tuesday – Alms or Fasting
- Our Faith Plan Calls to Action: Wednesday – Be Gracious, Thursday – Be Grateful
- Leader in Me: Friday – 7 Habits
Each day of the week has a specific activity to be completed for the theme. For example, one Monday we ask you to pray for world political and religious leader, one Tuesday we ask you to do something to help the earth, one Wednesday is to learn about a saint, one Thursday is to think about a place you are grateful for and one Friday is to plan to first complete your big rocks for the weekend. Activities for our calendar can be found on our Webpage and our Facebook Page. These activities can also be completed as a family so I encourage you to follow Habit 6: Synergize and Lead with Love throughout Lent.
Habit 1 is to Be Proactive so here are some other things going on during March to bring your attention to. Join us for our weekly Lenten prayer services which are on the first school day of the week. Zoom links will be emailed out so that can join us. Our virtual School Council meetings are the second Monday of the month so please join us on the 8th at 6:00 so that you can be engaged in what is going on at the school. Thank you to School Council for organizing the Pie and Pierogi fundraiser which will help support more online events for the school community and individual classes. Please note that our school calendar has changed and our Spiritual Development Day was originally scheduled for the 16th of March but has been moved to the 22nd to accommodate the speaker’s schedule.
