DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
Today is Holy
Thursday, a day during Holy Week when we remember the actions of Jesus at the Last Supper. We are told that after supper, Jesus washed the feet of his
disciples and told them to do likewise. Normally, washing the feet of
others was the lowest chore someone could be asked to do. When Jesus
washed his disciples' feet, his actions demonstrated that we are to live a life where we serve others.
Lord God,
You sent your son into the world,
and before his hour had come,
he washed the feet of his disciples.
Lord,
Help us to learn from his example,
and help us to do as he has done.
Strengthen our hands and our wills
to love
and serve others.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen

ST MARY TRACK & FIELD SEASON
École St. Mary High School has phenomenal athletes!! It is time to come out and show how fast you are, how long you can run, how far you can throw, and how high you can jump! Track has numerous events and students can train in as many, or as few, events as they want. To accommodate students with busy schedules, coaches will be offering multiple practices each week, with morning, noon, afternoon, and evening options.
