Friday Mass, 3rd Sunday of Lent. The first commandment, Mark 12:29. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. When we love one another, we are near the kingdom of God. Remain in His love! Inspired by 5th grade's leadership!

In our groups, we talked about what we can do to follow Jesus' instructions! (Focusing on the first five)
- Visit people in the hospital, pray for the sick
- Donate water to shelters
- Donate snacks and meals to food pantries
- Donate clothes to people in need
- Visit people who are in the hospital
- Write cards and letters to people who are sick
- Spiritual thirst - help bring people to Christ
- Learning how to help people around the world get clean water
And with that, we're caring for our neighbor as we start our week! Let's have a great day, Saints!
6th grade studying the history of music! Small groups chose a decade and each student researched an artist, then presented to the class, as well as a little about music in the decade overall and shared some top hits.

St. Peter Students praying the #StationsOfTheCross during Lent. ✝️ #SouthJerseyCatholicSchools
St. Peter Students had a wonderful virtual pilgrimage to Lourdes last week! With an interactive video, a portion of the rock from the Lourdes grotto, and holy water from the healing Lourdes spring, our students were treated to a wonderful Virtual experience. Preschoolers held up their candles to Mother Mary, elementary students learned about St. Bernadette and the appearance of Our Lady at Lourdes, and middle school students learned the story as well as the miracles of the water from the Spring, and then processed around the church and school grounds saying the Rosary.
Many thanks to Pam from Lourdes Virtual Volunteers for providing this special experience for our students!

And Mrs. Hall awarded the whole 4th grade for their FORTITUDE and wanting tor read their books during Read Across America week! And Mrs. Marisi overheard Casio encouraging a student who said "I can't do this." Casio said, " You can't do this YET." Mrs. Marisi gave Casio an award for his CHARITY towards another student!
Saints Circles: We all know the popular story that St. Peter got all the snakes out of Ireland. But did you know he wasn't born there? St. Peter was enslaved when he was young, and taken to Ireland. After he was freed, he became a priest, and went back to Ireland to preach the Gospel and convert souls after he had been enslaved there. What are some acts of kindness we can do in honor of St. Patrick returning to help the people of Ireland?
- Feeding the homeless
- Being kind to others
- Helping our parents around the house
- Sharing toys with my siblings
- Praying for our classmates
- Helping our classmates with homework
- Giving compliments!
And may the luck of the Irish be with us today! Happy #SaintPatricksDay, Saints! ☘️
