QUE PASA 5/17/2023 (ENGLISH)

Dear Parents,

       While we continue to pray to our Blessed Mother Mary during this month of May, we are reminded that without Mary and her courage, love, and faith in God, we would not have had our savior Jesus in our lives.  We are still in the Easter season, so we continue to remember Jesus’ sacrifice and the miracle of Jesus’ resurrection. 

       On Thursday, we celebrate the 40th day after Easter, and that means we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension—when Jesus rose to Heaven, body and soul.  In gratitude for and awe in Jesus’ glorious ascension, let us pray the prayer of the Ascension, while also asking God for guidance to keep up our strength and hope during these last few weeks of school:

God our Father,

make us joyful

in the ascension of your Son Jesus Christ.

May we follow him into the new creation,

for his ascension is our glory and our hope.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

 

--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez

Please remember -- If your child is feeling ill or has been exposed to COVID-19, phone the school office and keep your child at home!
