Thank you to all students who turned in their Mission Boxes after the Lenten Season. I am happy that we can support St. Labre Indian School in Ashland, Montana. It is a great feeling to know that we are helping young children get an education, graduate high school, and even attend college. It is a blessing to show our support for the Indian children. We were able to send $240.00.

We will honor Mary, the mother of Jesus, with the crowning of Mary during Mass on Wednesday, May 2nd. As part of the ceremony, each 8th Grader will carry a bouquet of flowers in the procession and place them before the statue of Mary in the sanctuary of the church. Songs and prayers will follow, and an eighth grade student will culminate the ceremony by placing a crown of flowers on the statue of the Blessed Mother. If you have any flowers in your yard, please send them to school before the service on Monday, April 30th or Tuesday, May 1st. Parents are welcome to attend the Mass and May Crowning. In addition to the Marian Service on Wednesday, there will be a Mary altar in the first floor hallway through the month of May. In order to keep the altar adorned with fresh flowers, we ask that you send flowers in throughout the month.
