DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
Today is the
World Day for Consecrated Life. It is the day that the Catholic Church invites
us all to reflect on the role of Consecrated Life within the Christian
community. Those who choose to live a consecrated life do so for the sake of
sharing the gospel with others. Some Christian women and men respond to God’s
call to become followers of Jesus through profession of vows and a life
dedicated to prayer and service. They live out the consecrated life in different
ways
within the faith community.
God our Father,
We thank you for calling men and women to serve in your Kingdom.
Renew their knowledge and love of you, and send your Holy Spirit
to help them respond generously and courageously to your will.
We ask this
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
FEBRUARY: Aboriginal Storytelling Month
FEBRUARY: Black
History Month
Black History Month is a time to celebrate and remember all the ways that Black Canadians have contributed to Canada’s history and culture. Throughout February, this celebration provides a chance to learn about African cultures. The story of Black History Month dates back to 1926 in the United States. At that time, an African-American historian named Carter G. Woodson founded a week that focused on celebrating the accomplishments of African Americans. He decided on a week in February because two important men were born in that month. The first was Frederick Douglass, a former enslaved person in the 1800s who spoke out for the freedom of enslaved people, as well as equal rights for women. And the second was Abraham Lincoln. As the 16th president of the United States, Lincoln fought for the freedom of all enslaved people throughout the country. While Woodson’s idea began as a one-week celebration, it eventually became a month-long event called Black Heritage Month in the United States in 1976. In 1995, Canada’s government officially recognized February as Black History Month.
The 2024 St. Mary Dual Invitational is a showcase for wrestling, in Prince Albert and surrounding areas, to build community and the sport of wrestling in our city. This “pack the gym” event at École St Mary High School on Monday, February 5th is from 1:30 pm to 8:00 pm with six dual competitions featuring live event commentary, music and concession.
SEMESTER 2 LIFETOUCH SCHOOL PHOTOS
On Tuesday, February 6th Lifetouch will be at the school to take Semester 2 photos. Students who are new to École St. Mary High School, or did not have their photo taken in Semester 1, are to go to the Conference Room in the Commons to have their photo taken. Students who want a retake are to bring their original set of proofs if they still have them. Throughout the day, students will be called by grade level to go to the Conference Room. If students are not in the building when their grade level has been called, they can still have their photo taken when they arrive. These photos will be for the yearbook and to identify students in Edsby, so it is important that students have them taken.
