Temple Israel Field Trip

We read A Sweet Passover this week, and to wrap up our lesson on Passover, we visited Temple Israel. We learned more about Passover, its traditions, and even words in Hebrew, like Dayenu, which means “it would have been enough”. We had matzo again and bitter herbs (lettuce) and heard readings from the Torah.

Thank you to all the volunteers who drove!

3G Reading

We will be reading A Sweet Passover over the next week. This wonderful story will help prepare us for our field trip on Friday and introduce us to the celebration of Passover in the Jewish faith. I have copies of the book for each student to use. If any student in 3B would like to borrow a copy, he/she is welcome to.

Triduum Mass Schedule

Sunday is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. Holy Thursday mass (the mass of the Lord’s supper) is 7pm, and Good Friday mass (the celebration of the Lord’s passion and death) is also at 7pm. Any student who attends Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter masses, will receive a participation grade in Religion. This is optional, but I encourage you all to attend these beautiful and meaning masses. Also, you don’t necessarily have to attend the masses/services at St. Ann.
