MM: Welcome Home; Our Final Lenten Call

Home / Eva Feed Item / MM: Welcome Home; Our Final Lenten Call

Hello Friend,

We are approaching the threshold of Holy Week, together we take a deep breath and settle into the quiet strength of our St. Scholastica community. This final week of Lent is more than just a conclusion to our fasting and reflection; it is a renewed call to spirit, a time to strip away the noise of the world and focus on the profound journey ahead. We welcome you home to St. Scholastica as we prepare to walk the path form the palms of Sunday to the glory of the Resurrection, united in prayer and purpose.

May God grant you your prayers and desires this week and beyond. Please let the parish staff know how we can serve you!

God Bless ~ Frs. Mark & Juan Jose, and your Parish

There is still time to join the Youth Choir!

BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS

DID YOU KNOW?

We are filled with joy as we share in the milestones of our fellow parishioners! Please join us in rejoicing with our seven Intermediate Sacramental Preparation students who received their First Holy Communion last weekend. We are so proud of their dedications as they now continue their journey toward the Sacrament of Confirmation.

We also look forward with great anticipation to the Easter Vigil, where one of our OCIA candidates will be fully initiated into the Church. It is a beautiful witness to our community to see these students and adults saying “yes” to their faith.

At St. Scholastica, there are many ways for families to complete their own sacramental journey — from Baptisim to Religious Education for our children and teens to make their First Communion and Confirmation to Youth Ministry for our teens to continue fellowship and their faith building, and adult who wish to complete the process through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. We would be honored to walk with you!

If you would like more information, please reach out to our Director of Religious Education Lindsay Gamino (including OCIA) or our Director of Youth Ministry, Jennifer Olson.

THANK YOU!!

As we reach the conclusion of this Lenten season, we look back with deep gratitude on the path we’ve walked together. From our Lenten Wednesdays of quiet reflection, prayerful journey of our weekly Stations of the Cross to the beautifully decorated sanctuary space, our hearts have been shaped by this time of preparation.

We extend a profound thank you to our dedicated parishioner, ministries, and volunteers –your shared prayers, selfless service, and commitment to these traditions have brought a sense of peace and renewal to our entire community. Together, we have truly prepared our hearts for the miracle of the Resurrection.

We look forward to welcoming you, your family and neighbors home as we enter into our Holy Week services. May we all walk the final steps of this journey transformed by grace and ready to celebrate the joy of Easter as one united family.
