St. Anne School Family Newsletter

February  10,  2016    Dear  St.  Anne  Parents,       The  liturgical  season  of  Lent  begins  today  with  Ash  Wednesday.    Every  student  and  adult  here  at  St.  Anne  School  went  to  the  8:45  Mass  this  morning  and  there  we  had  a  cross  signed  on  our  foreheads  with  ashes.    These  ashes  are  meant  to  symbolize  our  own  humanity….we  are  human;  therefore  we  are  born  and  we  will  die.    Our  bodies  will  either  be  cremated  or  decompose  in  the  grave.    Wow,  doesn’t  that  sound  uplifting??    Because  our  bodies  are  human,  they  are  subject  to  the  laws  of  nature…nothing  lasts  forever.    It  is  our  souls  that  are  NOT  human  and  that  brings  us  to  the  wonderful  reality  that  when  life  ends  for  our  physical  bodies,  our  spiritual  bodies  will  continue  on  living.    Life  after  death  is  our  spiritual  Christian  reality.    Christ  came  to  earth  as  man,  he  suffered,  died,  and  resurrected  from  death  to  assure  us  that  there  is  spiritual  life  AFTER  our  human  death.    The  ashes  help  to  remind  us  that  our  lives  can  and  should  be  lived  out  in  the  best  possible  manner  using  Christ’s  life  on  earth  as  our  model.    These  40  days  of  the  Lenten  season  are  intended  to  help  us  make  our  lives  and  the  lives  of  those  around  us  better.    What  is  it  that  we  can  do  to  bring  this  purpose  of  Lent  into  reality?    That  is  the  question  we  should  be  answering  during  this  holy  season  of  Lent.    Our  parish  is  sponsoring  several  events  to  support  both  children  and  adults  in  their  spiritual  growth  during  Lent.    There  is  a  retreat  at  St.  Patricks’s  Seminary,  a  religious  book  club,  soup  suppers,  and  an  orchestra/choir  to  join  for  those  who  pray  through  music.  Please  see  the  attached  flyers  for  details.      SCHOOL  CLOSED  –  FEBRUARY  15  We  will  be  closed  Monday,  February  15,  in  observance  of  Presidents’  Day.    School  will  resume  on  Tuesday,  February  18.    SERVICE  RECORD  DUE  –2/16  It’s  time  to  tally  up  those  completed  hours  and  submit  the  record  on  Tuesday,  February  16.    The  deadline  for  submitting  completed  hours  will  be  Tuesday,  February  23.    All  records  will  be  returned  home  with  your  youngest  child  on  Wednesday,  February  24.
