✨ Transfigured in Christ ✨

On this second Sunday of Lent, we reflect on the Transfiguration of Jesus, when His glory was revealed to Peter, James, and John. Just as Jesus shined brightly, may we let our light shine by showing kindness, love, and faith in our school and homes.

🕊 “This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him.” – Mark 9:7

🎨 Parents, bring your coffee and enjoy a morning stroll through the halls to enjoy your students' artwork!

🌿 Lent Begins – A Time for Renewal 🌿

As we enter the first Sunday of Lent, let’s embrace this season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Just as Jesus spent 40 days in the desert, we are called to grow closer to Him through sacrifice and reflection. How will your family make this Lent meaningful?

🙏 “Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” – Mark 1:15

🌿✝️ Ash Wednesday ✝️🌿

Today, we begin our Lenten journey, marked with ashes as a sign of repentance and renewal. 🙏💜 As a school community, we reflect, pray, and prepare our hearts for Easter. May this season bring us closer to God through acts of kindness, sacrifice, and love.

🙏 Dear Jesus, You said, “I am the Truth” (John 14:6). You have made me for Truth because You have made me for Yourself. Help me to be honest in all that I say and do, that I might know true happiness in You. +Amen
