Today is Ash Wednesday, marking the first day of Lent. During the 40 days of Lent, we prepare for Easter by taking time to be quiet in our hearts, by praying, by doing good deeds, by being forgiving and asking for forgiveness. We received ashes on our foreheads today to remind us that we need to try to be more like Jesus. Thank you sincerely to Fr. Charlie McDonnell for the distribution of ashes today in our school. We wish everyone good luck with their Lenten promises.
