March 5 to April 18 - LENTEN ACTIVITIES

Dear Parents,

This Lent at Holy Redeemer School we will help to promote the values of sacrifice and giving by supporting The Shepherds of Good Hope and Escuela San Jose Las Flores in El Salvador.  Any money we raise will help those in need and we hope to help equip a school science lab, as well as set up a chicken cooperative, for students in El Salvador.

The following is a list of special activities planned at Holy Redeemer:

March 5- Ash Wednesday Liturgy- 8:45 in the gym = Lent begins

March 21- "Hats for Hope" > Please donate a loonie or toonie to raise funds for the needy at The Shepherds of Good Hope

April 7-17 – Collection of used household items for the Shepherds of Good Hope (list to follow)

April 11 - "Flower Power" for San Jose Las Flores- Students can dress up in their best floral outfits and bring in a loonie or toonie for our friends in El Salvador

April 14-17 - Easter Basket Raffle Tickets on sale- $1 each, or 3 for $2

April 17 -  Stations of the Cross in preparation for April 18 - Good Friday


Please be sure to mark these dates on your calendar or visit our school website at https://red.ocsb.ca
