As a community, we know the importance of helping one another through both joyful and challenging times. It’s through our support and prayers that we can lift each other up and grow stronger together in all aspects of our lives, but especially our faith. Beginning this week, we have begun to offer our prayers for Pope Francis. We are asking God to grant him strength and good health. Just as we support one another, we can help our Holy Father by lifting him up in prayer, especially as he faces the physical challenges of his role.

This week’s virtue is fortitude, which calls us to be strong and courageous in the face of adversity. Let us take inspiration from Pope Francis’ unwavering commitment to his mission and reflect on how we can cultivate this same strength in our own lives. As we pray for the Pope’s health, let’s remember to support each other with the same fortitude, compassion, and love that he models for us.

Thank you for joining us in prayer for Pope Francis and for showing the strength of our community. May God bless you all.

Rick Logue

Heavenly Father,

We ask You to watch over Pope Francis and keep him in Your loving care. He has served You faithfully, guiding the Church with kindness and wisdom. Now, as he faces illness, we pray that You grant him strength and peace.

Give him comfort in his weakness and courage in his suffering. Let him feel the prayers of Your people and the presence of Your unending love.

Bless all those who care for him, and may he find rest and healing according to Your will.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A friendly reminder that the enrollment deadline for the 2025-2026 school year is this Friday, February 28! We’re making the process easier for families—there are no forms to complete at this time. All enrollment paperwork will be available in FACTS later this spring.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re excited to continue this journey with your family at Saint Patrick Catholic School!

A reminder that Parent-Teacher Conferences are tomorrow! Sign-ups are now closed, but if you still wish to schedule a conference, please reach out to your student’s teacher directly.

To help facilitate conferences, students will be dismissed at 1:20 PM. Please ensure that transportation arrangements are in place for your child.

Mrs. Wheeler will be away after Spring Break, and we ask you to keep her in your prayers during this time.

For the remainder of the school year, hot lunches will only be available on Mondays and Fridays, following the usual schedule. Milk will still be available for purchase each day.

If a student forgets their lunch on a day when hot lunch is not offered, they will be provided with an Uncrustable peanut butter and jelly sandwich, chips, and fruit, and the cost of a full lunch will be charged.

The lunch menu is included below for your reference. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Next week, we will celebrate Ash Wednesday Mass at the church instead of the Froning Center. This special Mass marks the beginning of the Lenten season, a time of reflection and preparation.

All parents completed a permission slip at the start of the year, so there is nothing you need to do. As always, parents are invited to join us for Mass, and we especially welcome you to celebrate this important day with us.

Spring is just around the corner, and our annual Spring Flower Sale is the perfect opportunity to brighten your home and support our school! Orders are due by March 4, and pickup will be on May 5. Don’t miss out on the chance to purchase beautiful flowers while helping fund school activities. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school office. Thank you for your continued support!
