Peek of the Week

APRIL 20-26, 2025
Dear St. Theresa Catholic School Families,
As we prepare to step away from our busy routines and enter into the sacred days of Holy Week, I invite you to pause and reflect on the incredible love and sacrifice we witness in the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the holiest time in our liturgical year—a time for silence, prayer, and wonder.
At St. Theresa Catholic School, we have walked the Lenten journey together, and now we look forward to the joy of Easter with hearts renewed. Whether through Stations of the Cross, acts of kindness, or prayerful classroom moments, our students have embraced this season with faith and sincerity.
As a community, may we hold close the words of Scripture:
“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” – Matthew 28:6
Let this promise be the source of our Easter joy. Christ’s victory over the grave reminds us that hope always has the final word.
I offer this prayer for each of you as we enter into Holy Week:
Risen Lord,
In this season of new life, fill our hearts with Your peace.
Help us to walk in Your light and live out the joy of the Resurrection.
Bless our families with rest, renewal, and a deep sense of Your presence.
Amen.
We wish all of you a blessed Holy Week and a joyful Easter. May your days be filled with love, laughter, and the peace that comes from knowing Christ is truly risen. We look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday, April 22.
Love and Light,
Sarah Fox
