| Good Evening St. Patrick Students, Parents, Faculty, and Staff:
In today’s Gospel, the devil tries to tempt Jesus to rebel against his Father’s plan. He taunts Jesus, saying, “If you are the Son of God…” (Matthew 4:3, 6). In other words, If you are really who you claim to be, don’t wait for your Father’s permission. Go ahead and act like God! But Jesus “did not regard equality with God something to be grasped” (Philippians 2:6). Though he was God incarnate, he submitted to his Father’s will each and every day. Finally, he undid that first sin of Adam when he offered himself on the cross to save us (Romans 5:12, 15). This Lent, may we all ask the Holy Spirit to help us recognize where we are being tempted to rebel against God. And may we let the words of St. Paul in today’s second reading encourage us: through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we have all received an “abundance of grace” (Romans 5:17). That grace can help us overcome any temptation! This Lent, let’s just keep asking for God’s grace, and trust that it will never run out. May Jesus give us the grace to submit and surrender to him in all things. Let’s make it a great week! Go Irish! |

Psalm 98:1: Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. Songs can stir us up, or they can bring us comfort. Songs can take us back to a special time, or songs can give us hope for things to come. Unfortunately, we usually let someone else write our songs’ words and music. We don’t take the time to write our own “new song.” But today, why not make up your new song of praise expressing your thanks to God? It doesn’t have to be great, just heartfelt and offered to the Father from whom all joyful songs come. Father God, thank you for the gift of song. Please receive my song of thanks and praise from a heart you have filled with your delight. O God, I offer you my thanks and praise in Jesus’ name. Amen. |

Welcome back to another fantastic week of learning here at St. Patrick! It is amazing how quickly this semester is progressing, so we would like everyone to be receiving the best possible experience in each of their courses. As we continue through the coursework, be reminded of a few key details regarding your submissions of school work: When you are absent it is your responsibility to find out from your teacher, or use Canvas, what the assignments are that you will need to make up. If you need help when you have missed class, PLEASE email your teacher and schedule a time to meet with them to get some instruction on what was missed. It is always best to ask a friend for their notes from that missed instruction in advance. You want to have an idea of what was covered. Canvas also shows the due date and time for each assignment that is to be completed. Be attentive to these dates and times to ensure that you receive full credit for your completed work. Use the Canvas calendar to LOOK AHEAD at what is coming. This allows for productive planning to fully be prepared for tests/quizzes. Parents, please also encourage your child to attend all classes everyday. The best learning experiences begin with being in class and are followed with strong engagement in the learning process. Encourage your child to: Ask questions. As always, if you or your child have any questions at all please email your teachers or the administration for additional support. We are here to help and want the best learning experience that can possibly be provided!
