“For I
acknowledge my offense and my sin is before me always.”
Psalm 51: vs. 5
Incredibly, the Penny War netted – hold on to your
hats -- $1,815.84! Isn’t that
terrific! How generous so many of you
were – students, moms and dads, grandparents too I would bet. Josh O’Brien (and especially his parents)
will be so touched. If plans proceed on
target, he SHOULD be receiving his therapy dog this fall. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping
make this possible.
Our spring break starts with a FUN night TONIGHT. . .
.Sounds like HASA folks have a fun evening planned for the families of the 4k
through grade 5 children. Thanks to the
organizers and all those who donated prizes or a donation to help with
expenses. Have a GOOD time.
Third and Fourth Grade Parents, your children are
going to be asked to give special service and be part of some of the goings on
connected with Palm Sunday for the 4:00 pm Saturday Mass on Saturday, April
16th. We are hoping for almost 100%
participation. A note will go home on
the Friday (the 8th) the children return from spring break. Unless you are out of town that weekend or
have some special event on the calendar you just can’t miss, please say “yes.”
Did you notice the picture in the Watertown Daily Times Wednesday of Mr. Novenski
speaking with our eighth grade science class about the nuclear reactor problem
in Japan? He traveled extensively as an
engineer with Lindbergh’s and actually oversaw a furnace installation in a
nuclear power plant just 25 miles from the Fukushima one so much in the news
today. So knowledgeable, his quick
diagram of a nuclear plant and clear explanation of how they work and what
probably went wrong actually made sense!
Speaking of that crisis, those of you who had children in school a few
years ago remember our wonderful Japanese teacher, Mrs. Misako Nimiya, who was with us for seven months. We did receive a quick email from her that
she and her adult children were OK but her husband was in the Fukushima area
and they were very worried about him.
Haven’t heard since. ANOTHER
important thing to pray for!
The faculty was proud to notice recently that four of
our St. Henry School graduates were recently inducted into the National Honor
Society. Our congratulations go out to
Devin and Juliena Herritz,
John Tesensky, and John Wagner. Three cheers for them.
The Holy Land St. Henry and St. Bernard pilgrims – our
two pastors and parishioners from both churches – left from our playground
Monday on a bus taking them to Chicago.
We did get word from them Wednesday afternoon that they were safe and
sound and would not be going into the area where the tragic bombing took place
in Jerusalem. Certainly, a few prayers
for their safe return after an inspiring trip would be in order.
