Prayer Intention: We pray for all those who dedicate their lives to care for the sick and weak in our communities.
Today is the feast of Saint Frances of Rome. She lived in the 1400s. She wanted to join religious life, but her parents did not want that for her, and they chose a wealthy young man for her to marry. She got married, and soon learned that her sister-in-law also wanted to live a life of prayer and serving the poor. The two women worked together to care for the poor people of Rome with full support from their husbands.
We have some congratulations for our Saints who competed over the weekend:
Senior Heidi Harmeyer who place 5th in the 1600 and 6th in the 3200 at the OATCCC indoor State championship. Incredible!
Junior Kenlie Littleman who wrapped up her season at State on Saturday. We’re so proud of her and all her accomplishments this season. Amazing!
To our regional runner-up basketball Saints! What an incredible and historic season!
Thanks to Seton Nation for filling the stands to support and cheer on our Saints!

Today is the feast of Saint Dominic Savio. He was born in 1842 to a very poor family in Riva, Italy. When he was 12, he joined St. John Bosco’s school for boys, and organized a group dedicated to prayer and helping St. John Bosco in his work of helping other young boys who were in danger of making bad choices in their lives. Dominic named the group the Company of the Immaculate Conception. Dominic died at the age of 15 from health issues that had plagued him all of his young life. In 1959, all of the members of his group became the beginning of St. John Bosco’s Salesian congregation.
Today is 4-bell day

We pray for the healing of divisions among all Christians so that the Church may be united in Christ.
Today is the feast of Saint John Ogilvie. He was born in 1579 in Scotland to a Scottish family that was part Catholic and part Protestant. He was raised as a Calvinist. At 17, he was sent to Belgium for school where he met Benedictines and Jesuits. Their teaching guided him to become Catholic. He wanted to support their missionary work in spreading the Gospel message, and was sent back to Scotland to convert the Protestants. He served the Catholics in hiding there, but was eventually betrayed and turned over to authorities. He was told that if he rejected his faith he would be set free. He refused, and was tortured for weeks and then hanged. News of his courage and his martyrdom spread throughout Scotland. In 1976, he was canonized.
Today is 3-bell day with a 2:15 dismissal. At the end of bell 2, take your backpack and belongings to MG and report immediately to the theater. Seniors will stay after the assembly for graduation information with Mrs. Ciarla and all other student will return to MG.

Prayer Intention: We pray for peace in our world. We also ask that you keep Coach LaRosa’s husband in your prayers today and ask for quick healing for him.
Today is the feast of Servant of God Brother Juniper. He joined the Franciscan friars in 1210. St. Francis sent Brother Juniper to establish places for the friars in Italy. Juniper was known for his simplicity. One story about Juniper tells of a time when he was caring for a sick man. The man said he was craving a meal of pig’s feet, so Juniper went to a nearby field, captured a pig and cut off its foot to prepare the meal for the sick man. When the owner of the pig complained to Juniper’s superior, Juniper apologized profusely, and then convinced the angry man to donate the rest of the pig to the Franciscan Friars for food.

Today is the feast of Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska (tur-CAH-skuh). She was born in Poland in 1825. When she was a young girl, she contracted tuberculosis. This forced her to spend an extended period of time at rest to try to combat the effects of the disease. During that time, she began to reflect on her relationship with God, and she felt God was calling her to serve the poor, especially children and the elderly living in the slums of Warsaw, Poland. She and her cousin took vows consecrating themselves to Mary, and began their work. Other women began to join them, and in two years they had formed the congregation known as the Felician Sisters.
Today is a 7-bell special schedule. See Mrs. White’s email from yesterday for class times and car raffle kick-off directions.
