Be sure to stop by the Borromeo Room anytime this week and the weekend of April 5 and look at the amount of hard work and time put forth by the students. It's impressive!

Lenten Spiritual Opportunities: There are many ways to pray, give alms and sacrifice this Lent. Visit this LINK to find how you can deepen your Lenten experience. Also, the Rosary Group meets on Wednesday, April 3 in the Life Teen Cafe at 8:30 am. Join us for about 20-25 minutes to say the rosary. It's a powerful bit of time and the rewards are great.

Please be prompt because after April 8 orders will not be accepted. Click HERE for the order form. Also just a reminder that there is no hot lunch offered on this day -- only the pizza.
