NEWS FOR THE WEEK

POVERTY LUNCH – HOLY THURSDAY

One of the Lenten traditions our school partakes in on Holy Thursday is a Poverty Lunch. All staff and students gather in the school gym, along with Father Tran, Father Salvino and Deacon Patrick and a small sacrifice is made to commit to eating just bread (a Portuguese bun) and water during lunch time. If you have any questions or concerns about this lunch please contact your child’s classroom teacher. Thank you.
