Principal’s Corner
Dear ASCE Families,
Thank you to all our parents who attended parent teacher conferences last week. We truly appreciate the opportunity to connect with you! We are looking forward to celebrating reading month during the month of March, there are fun activities planned for the month as well as an exciting spirit week. Please check March’s calendar. During this Lenten season, may we draw closer to God and let this be a time of transformation as we refocus our lives and spirits
towards God. Let us prepare for Easter through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
Many Blessings,
Mrs. Rhodus
Prayer
Loving God, may we walk through these forty days of Lent and draw closer to you each day by loving You more fully, and serving others with compassion and care. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Virtue of the Week
During morning prayer on Monday, February 27, we will introduce Docility:
Willingness to be taught, such as listening to another person, listening to and thinking about another person’s idea, willing to listen to directions, and taking correction peacefully.
Dear Jesus, You are my teacher in every situation. Before acting on important matters, please give me the humility to seek Your wisdom and the wisdom of others, in order to make the best decision. Give me the gift of counsel, so that I may do Your holy will in each situation. Amen.

Parish Info and Mass Opportunities
With the decline of young families attending church and with so much evil and hate in this world today, we need God now more than ever. It is our responsibility as Catholics to go to church weekly. By doing so, we set good examples for our children and do our part to lead them in the direction of Christ our Savior. Attending church as a family is so important and rewarding. It helps to create a special bond between you and God and between your family members. Children need to know and understand the importance of going to church consistently and having a relationship with God. There are many Mass options to accommodate busy lifestyles. So please take a little time out of your busy lives each week to grow closer to God and to enjoy Mass as a family.
