Please read my blog for Lenten opportunities and events here at school. There are opportunities for almsgiving and prayer to bring us even closer to Jesus. Have a blessed week!

Week of February 19, 2024

 

Dear parents,

Thursday, February 22 and 29 are almsgiving opportunity days. Our Shamrock for Life Club is helping the Gabriel Project to support infants and babies by collecting diapers (newborn – size 4), wipes, baby wash, pacifiers and bibs. These items can be sent in with your children or sent to the office. 

Please note the following Lenten events at church: 

  • Confession - Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Fridays, 5pm - 6pm. Saturdays, 9am - 10am.

  • The Knights of Columbus Fish Fry at the school gym 5pm - 7pm

  • Stations of the Cross - Fridays at 7:15pm

  • Sundays - Singing of the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy at 10:10am

Save the Date:

St. Malachy Church is presenting The Word Became Flesh Bible Marathon, starting March 10th. The event will include a Eucharistic procession, Adoration, and a proclamation of the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The event will end in the evening on Tuesday the 12th. 

St. Malachy School sponsors a table at Cardinal Ritter’s Smarty party.  If you are interested in attending please let me know.  The event is Saturday, February 24 at 6pm and trivia begins at 6:30pm. 

In Christ,
