"You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. Never forget these words which I am giving you today. Teach them to your children. Speak of them at home and when you are away, whether you are busy or at rest." (Deuteronomy 6:5-7)

Our CCD classes participated in a Chinese auction Sunday, March 25. Families were asked to bring in gently used items for the children to bid on. We raised $383 that will be donated to children's charities.
Thank you to our 8th Graders for taking the lead in organizing the CCD Advent Project for People in Need. Thanks to their work and your generosity, we were able to send needed supplies to Catholic Charities. Special thank you to 8th- Grade catechist Anne Baker who helps our youth to make this project happen.

PRAYERS to Pray Together:Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you!
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
