When you canrsquot put your prayers into words

God hears your heart

God speaks

to us

if we take

the time

to listen

Easter is the most glorious day of the whole year for us as Catholics for us as Christians for us who have travelled faithfully through this Lenten season and for us who have a hope in the share of Christrsquos resurrection As we have sought to do without good things in our life in order to make a sacrifice for the eternal good of our soul we have a little glimpse into the reward that awaits us at the end of our lives even as we celebrate this Easter Sunday Perhaps you have given up sweets for Lent and now you may be able to glory in the fact that you can delight in this little taste of heaven (humanly speaking) once again

Of course Easter is much bigger than us giving up something like sweets for Lent and now being able to partake of eating that piece of cake or your favorite dessert On Easter we

celebrate the day that Christ rose from the dead after having died for our salvation

This Easter Sunday and every day of our lives we should be eternally grateful for the gift that God out of his perfect love and mercy offers us The Lord has done for us more than we could hope for The only response to such a gift is one of gratitude for his infinite love a gratitude that lasts thanks to this day into eternity

Big thanks to all of you students teachers and families of Santa Lucia School for your faith your commitment to the Church to Santa Lucia School and to Santa Lucia Parish May Easter be blessed and joyful for you

Fr Stipe Renić OFM

Does anyone know what the word Lent means It actually means Spring Spring and Easter are my favorite time of year It is a time of rebirth and awakening just as Jesus awoke and resurrected We see flowers blooming trees budding and birds and insects out and about What a beautiful time with the world waking up from its winter slumber Just as Jesus resurrected and the earth awakens we too are renewed with the crisp Spring air and the brightening of the sun You will see more and more lively activities in our school during this spring time We kicked off spring with our Kidsrsquo Kabaret Soon we will have our Curriculum Fair outdoor field trips 8th grade boat cruise walk-a-thon and more We have a lot of wonderful things to look forward to before we say goodbye for summer And if yoursquore in a Summer Educational Enrichment Program the fun is just beginning Miss Eileen Sheedy Principal

About 40 days ago on Ash Wednesday you heard the words ldquoWelcome to Lentrdquo As you began this journey in 2017 you were asked to make it a personal trip with the Lord The Lenten Committee asked you and your class to work on several short projects One part of our journey was listening to inspirational stories for your own reflection and to open a dialogue with your

class The theme was ldquoTune Up for Lent with your thoughts words and actionsrdquo You were challenged every day with special Lenten projects including reciting the Stations every day The Lenten Calendars Mite Boxes weekly Friday Stations of the Cross Food Drive and collecting the tabs for Ronald McDonald were different ways to help you reach your goal You participated in the Sacrament of Reconciliation all School Masses Recitation of the Rosary and the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament The Journey is almost over Enjoy the rewards of Easter

Make Holy Week Special Make Holy Week special Take advantage of the traditions for celebrating Holy Week Take steps to show that this week is not life as usual but a special time set apart from your usual school week Do that through what you do in the evenings what you talk about and what you do upon waking and going to sleep For example as a family you might set aside an evening to read the Gospel accounts of Jesus passion and death Learn about what the symbols and readings of the Triduum mean to you Many families decorate eggsmdashsymbols of the Resurrectionmdashor put together Easter baskets that will be blessed at church Our church has services that are filled with meaningful symbolsmdashlike light shining in the darkness visiting different churches stripping the altar from any distractions blessing of the baptismal font mdashand those services speak volumes directly to your heart The story of Jesus suffering and death are at the heart of Christian faith They are at the heart of our very existence and meaning Its easy to be too busy or too distracted to attend to these services and lessons Take the time to appreciate and live your faith this year

where the 8th graders come together and make several competitive stations of different sports

and games having the rest of the school come down to have fun

money to a place or person for every lap (or station in this case) that

that person does for every station he or she completes The Sports-A-

Thon was a great success this year and it looked like everyone who participated had a lot of fun

Hopefully the Sports-A-Thon will be great for years to come

Kids Kabaret 2017 by Lydia Claudio Gr 7

On March 26th 2017 our school held its talent show the ldquoKidsrsquo Kabaret 2017rdquo The

studentsrsquo ages ranged from 6-14 This show has become so popular over the

years that students who no longer attend the school are coming back to watch

all of our talented performers There were many exciting acts performed by our

students On the day of our dress rehearsal we were able to see all the students

perform Our dress rehearsal was very successful and all of our students were

able to practice their songs and get a good feel of how it would really be when

they were on stage for the big night For some students it was their first time

being on stage

Victoria Gonzalez ldquoIt was amazing The kids had great talent and it was an amazing show in

my eleven years at St Lucyrdquo

In Christianity Mardi Gras (French for Fat Tuesday

and also known as Carnival and Shrove Tuesday) is the last

day before the beginning of Lent a period of fasting and

repentance leading up to Easter which celebrates the

resurrection of Jesus Christ

Traditionally it is the day for eating up the last of the

rich foods that remain in the house and for having a big

celebration before a long period of discipline and repentance

We at St Lucyrsquos school were no exception We love to party We got a chance to dress down and compete with each other in a game called ldquoIn It 2 Win Itrdquo which is based on a popular television game called ldquoIn It to Win Itrdquo Mrs Cazares and Mrs Herrera school volunteers helped the Student Council members set up teams while they engaged in challenging feats of balance critical thinking and team cooperation Everyone had a blast and received Mardi Gras beads as a souvenir
