MR. VANCE'S NEWS TO USE THIS WEEK
APRIL 9, 2021
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back after Easter break! I hope that you and your family had a great time together celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus, and that you were able to rejuvenate as we head into the final weeks of the school year. Our students in preschool through grade 7 have seven weeks remaining and six weeks for our eighth graders. It won’t be long until summer will be here!
During the month of April, students and staff will focus on Forgiveness, which is the Virtue of the Month. Through lessons and prayer, we will all come to better understand and
practice this important Virtue. Some role models we will be studying include St. Patrick, Blessed Margaret of Castello, and St. Josephine Bakhita.
practice this important Virtue. Some role models we will be studying include St. Patrick, Blessed Margaret of Castello, and St. Josephine Bakhita.
I would like to announce that Mrs. Angie Bien, school psychologist, recently delivered a baby girl, Katherine Ann. Mom and baby are healthy and at home. We are very happy for Mrs. Bien and her growing family!
These are unprecedented times, but we are resilient.
These are challenging times, but we are hopeful.
These are stressful times, but we place our trust in Christ to carry us through.
Please continue to keep all St. Ignatius students, staff, and families
in your thoughts and prayers.
In Christ's Peace,
In Christ's Peace,

UNIVERSAL YEAR OF THE FAMILY
Submitted by Mrs. Elaine Kroger
On March 19, our parish, along with the Universal Church, launched a Year of the Family, in celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis titled Amoris Laetitia “Joy of Love”, which focuses on the joy and beauty of familial love. A brief overview of Amoris Laetitia can be found at http://bit.ly/AmorisLaetitiaJoyofLove. For the next 10 months, a new video will be released on the website www.amorislaetitia.va and on Vatican News, and will be accompanied by a short guide which is meant to reawaken the Joy of Love within your own domestic church (the family). Check out the first video released on March 25: Walking Together - https://youtu.be/ug7VC5iCydQ.Many activities have been planned here at our parish to help families celebrate together, with even more events yet to come! Please see the attached flyer "Joy of Love: Year of Events" as well as the Prayer to the Holy Family that we will be using at events all year long.
