Lent

 

Hello Second Grade Families,

Lent began last week on Ash Wednesday.  During the Lenten season we are called to pray, fast, and to do almsgiving (works of love).  Please know that in class your children are learning all about this holy season and we are taking the time to pray more.  In fact, the second graders will be leading the all school Rosary on Monday, March 7th inside St. Gabriel's Catholic Church at 2:20 p.m.  Please feel free to join us.  May you each have a very meaningful lenten experience.
