Tomorrow, the school is collecting leftover candy for the Agape ministries. Students can bring in any excess candy and donate it.
We have a fairly regular week. P.E. will be Monday, Thursday and Friday. Children should have their P.E. strip on those days and already on beneath their uniform.
Tomorrow we will be sending home a letter from Fr. Justin. Here it is as a preview:

Dear Parents,
I hope you're well!
I wish to inform you that we will be moving First Communion to a
weekend Mass, specifically, Saturday, May 14 at 5 p.m.
This is done for one important theological and pastoral reason.
Since receiving Communion includes becoming one with Jesus and His Church,
it should be done in the context of the greater parish family community.
Many priests have found that doing special Masses for baptisms, the
Eucharist and Confirmation, have emphasized that it's a 'private' event
where only family and friends are invited. This has in turn led to a gap
between those receiving the sacraments and the parish family. To improve
this connection, we will start celebrating these sacramental moments in the
context of the parish family community.
I hope and pray that this makes sense and doesn't cause you any inconvenience. I also hope that all of us realize that our children receiving First Communion don’t just positively affect them and you, but all of us, praise God! If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you! God bless!
Fr. Justin
