Weekly Update
Holy Trinity Catholic School April 7th, 2022
PRAYER
A Note from Mrs. Longden
Next week is Holy Week. Let us not forget that the week begins with Palm Sunday and ends with the Easter Vigil followed by Easter Sunday, the largest celebration of the year.
We have been walking the path of Jesus with the school children this entire Lenten season. Please help us follow this path to the Resurrection. It is in learning about the Resurrection and the walk to Calvary that will give our children the path for their souls in this life and the next.
As we start Holy Week next week, I hope everyone is able to take some time out of our busy schedules to focus on the events commemorated during the week. This is the high point of the Christian year. The passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus demonstrate for us the incomprehensible love that God has for each of us. These events provide the model for how we, as Christians, should interact with the world - with love and self-giving. So I encourage everyone to participate as fully as your family can in the church services and liturgical events so that we can all deepen our relationship with Jesus this Holy Week.
Our staff is so very thankful and so proud to be of service to your children, your families, and to our Catholic school ministry. We could not be more proud than to live and breathe in a school that has such great value to those who believe in our work and share our hope in bringing each child closer to God.
On behalf of the entire staff, we thank you with our hearts and souls. We give glory to God as we rejoice in this wonderful success.
Blessings,
Mrs. Longden
