Lent in Our School

(February 20, 2024) — This Lent, our school students and staff are focusing on the three acts of sacrifice for Lent: Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. Teachers will work with their classes to focus on these aspects throughout Lent either with choices in the classroom or acknowledging the choices students are making personally.

Each time a student or class takes part in a new sacrifice, a small slip of purple paper will be filled out and deposited into the community jars outside our learning center. This act will show the entire St. Philomena community that we are in this journey together preparing for the sacrifice of Jesus and His eventual Resurrection.

We hope you can join us by taking time as a family to choose different aspects of sacrifice. If you have a child in our school currently, we encourage you to talk about the different ways our kids are sacrificing in school.
