PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE: Dear Parents, As we start the month of May we are asked as a Church to pay homage to Mary. Remember that Mary always seeks to be a bridge not a barrier to Her Divine Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Don't ever feel afraid to approach her in prayer for grace, strength and her intercession to Jesus for your personal intentions. Our virtue of the month is Wisdom. Wisdom is the first and highest gift of the Holy Spirit. It makes the soul responsive to God in the contemplation of divine things. I have enjoyed seeing the students continue to live out the virtues and challenge them to keep sharing their at home ACTs cards with myself and their teachers. I also look forward to seeing the pictures and videos of students and families completing the Move a Thon on Friday May 8th. Have a blessed week and know that you are in my daily prayers. Mrs. Elizabeth Mar. MESSAGE FROM FR. BRANDON: Please see the weekly reflection from Father Brandon. https://stanneslodi.flocknote.com/note/7123644

ACTS CARDS AT HOME: Please see attached ACT’s cards for you to use at home as you see fit. We would love to see how your children are living out the virtues at home. If you could please share with your child’s teacher and Mrs. Mar so we can then share with the larger community in the weeks to come. LUNCH BUNCH MEET: This is a time for you to come together with your friends and St. Anne's staff for a short, but fun- filled visit. Each meet will have a special activity that you can be a part of.
