4 Quebec Trip Science Fair WOW!!! What a good looking group! We have returned from another incredible and successful tour of Montreal and Quebec City. This year 31 St. Brendan students and 3 Staff members braved the cold and had a fun and genuine educational experience made possible by EF Educational Tours. We had the privilege of working with the amazing EF staff, from our tour manager to our tour director, each one dedicated to providing our group the highest possible quality and value for our money. We engaged in unique and memorable activities such as Mass in the awesome Notre Dame Basilica, a visit to the Montreal Planetarium, the Grevin Museum, the very birthplace of Montréal, Pointe-à-Callière, a tour of the only North American Ice Hotel, an evening at a Cabane à Sucre as well as many more cultural activities. Travel enriches our lives and while the lessons learned during o u r t r i p a r e inestimable, the new f r i e n d s h i p s a n d priceless memories created will last a lifetime. Preparations for next year s group, which will travel to Quebec City, Montreal and Ottawa in late April 2018 are in the works with students already registered. If your child is enrolled in our French program in Gr7 or Gr8 and you are interested in participating in next year s tour, please contact Ms. Rossi at or severina.rossi@ecsd.net.

On Thursday February 16, 2017, grade 7 students participated in the first annual Science Fair at St. Brendan. It was an exciting day for students, parents, and staff as it was a celebration of new discoveries and learning. Students displayed more then 50 projects covering a spectrum of topics. Every student at school had an opportunity to see the outstanding exhibits and listen to the excellent presentations. The Science Fair was a wonderful way to get our students excited about the scientific process and thinking like young scientists! The Science Fair also gave students the opportunity to study a topic that interests them. The educational benefits were numerous, as students developed skills in writing, oral presentation, creative thinking, and problem solving. The Science Fair was very successful because of all of the hard-work and dedication by the students in grade 7 and they should all be very proud of their accomplishments!! Band News The grade 9 band will be performing on the Winspear stage at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 7th for Band Share Day.

8 March, 2017 Dear Parents, staff and students, We will soon be entering into the liturgical season of Lent. Lent is a time for prayer and penance, for almsgiving and service to others who are less fortunate. It is a time for working to change attitudes that are not life-giving and to turn back to God with an open heart. The twinned Parishes of Assumption ( Ave.) and Resurrection ( A St.) provides a variety of services and activities for people who wish to journey in their faith during Lent and Easter. God bless you all, Father Mitch Fidyka Ash Wednesday Masses on Wednesday, March 1 9:00 a.m. at Assumption Church 7:00 p.m. at Resurrection Church THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS are an ancient tradition in the Catholic Church going back to the fourth century when Christians went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land and retraced the last steps of Jesus s life. At Assumption: every Friday during Lent at 6:30 p.m. March 3,10,17,24,31 and April 7 At Resurrection: every Friday during Lent at 7:00 p.m. - March 3,10,17,24,31 and April 7 During Lent we encourage people of faith to go to Confession. Many people experience great peace and spiritual consolation. An encounter with a loving, merciful God renews our strength and ability to turn towards God and away from sin. DAY OF CONFESSION ACROSS THE DIOCESE on Wednesday, March 8 Assumption: 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Resurrection: 2:00 pm to 7:00 p.m. LENTEN PENITENTIAL SERVICE on Wednesday, March 22 At Resurrection: 7:00 pm (for both parishes) THE SACRED PASCHAL TRIDUUM HOLY THURSDAY (The Lord s Last Supper): Thursday, April 13 Assumption: 7:00 pm Resurrection: 7:00 pm GOOD FRIDAY (The Passion of Our Lord): Friday, April 14 Resurrection: 11:00 am Assumption: 3:00 pm EASTER VIGIL (The Resurrection of Our Lord): Saturday, April 15 Resurrection: 9:00 pm NOTE: This is a joint Easter Vigil for both parishes at Resurrection Church. EASTER SUNDAY Sunday, April 16 Assumption: 9:30 am Resurrection: 11:00 pm

9 Lenten Journey The season of Lent this year onbegins March 1, Ash Wednesday. Lent is a time to Create Ourselves Anew. It is a season for praying, fasting, and almsgiving to prepare ourselves for the celebration of Christ's Resurrection at Easter and for our own Redemption. Often, we are asked, why do we need a special time of year to concentrate on these things... shouldn t we always be creating ourselves anew? Of course, we should always work towards being the best person we are called to be. The Church recognizes, however, that we are all human. We do need special times to remind us what it means to be a person of faith, a follower of Jesus. Lent is one of these special times. We often focus on fasting and almsgiving during Lent and sometimes forget about praying. There are many tools that the Church has given us to help us pray, including form prayers like the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Glory Be, and other practices like Lectio divina, Visio divina, and Ignatian Contemplation. Another form of prayer that is, perhaps, lesser known is the Examen, which was originally developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola. This form of prayer, although it was originally prayed primarily by the followers of Ignatius, known as Jesuits ( Pope Francis is a Jesuit), it is certainly accessible to all of us. The prayer card to the right sums up the practice very nicely. The Examen is a contemplative form of prayer that allows us to take time out of our busy day to spend with God. The Examen is a prayer that helps us to seek the presence and the movement of God in the events of life as it is lived. The first time we do it, we may find that it goes kind of fast, maybe only 5 minutes. As we continue praying this way, however, we will find that the time passes quickly and we may end up spending 15 to 20 minutes or even half an hour. It is a wonderful way for us to look at our lives through the loving eyes of our God. During Lent, we are encouraged to pray, to fast, and to give of ourselves. This year, let s make sure that we remember to spend some quality time with God in prayer, maybe using the Ignatian Examen. God bless, Ed Jean Secondary Religious Education Consultant

10 March 2017 Kathleen Nguyen, Elementary Religious Education Consultant Journeying through Lent as a family Lent is the 40-day season of preparation for the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday. It begins on Ash Wednesday which falls on March 1 st this year. Ashes are placed on our forehead in the shape of a cross as a sign of our humility and contrition. The ashes come from the palms that were blessed on Palm Sunday the year before. Lent is a time of purification and enlightenment. During this time, we use the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to prepare ourselves. This year, try picking one thing in each of these three areas as a family and do it intentionally. Prayer Ask your family: What is one way we can develop our relationship with Jesus through prayer this Lent? The aim of the Lenten practice of prayer is to get closer to Jesus. One way you can do this is by taking 15 minutes and listen to Jesus talk to you through the gospels. You can even get an audio version of the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible (NRSV) and listen to it together as a family. Fasting The Church calls us to fasting and abstinence on Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, and on Good Friday, the first day of the Triduum. For these two days, fasting involves eating two small meals and one medium size meal that is no bigger than the two small meals combined. Abstinence means that we do not eat meat. Fasting throughout the 40 days of Lent is all about conforming our hearts to Jesus. Ask your family: What kind of fast do we need to have in our life? What is something that is keeping us from being present to each other or others? Your fast doesn t have to involve food. You might choose to fast from Netflix, Facebook, or from checking your phone constantly. Almsgiving Ask your family: How can we let God use us in this time to bless others? Almsgiving can involve giving of your time, talent, or treasure. For example, you could decide to share your time by volunteering as a family. You may wish to share your musical talents by giving the gift of music to the elderly. If you decide to give money, do it consistently throughout the season of Lent. (It is called a Lenten practice because it is meant to be intentionally done throughout the 40 days.) When you are doing one of these things, you are taking time to bless someone else. Family friendly Solidarity Calendar from Development and Peace:

11 AMORIS LAETITIA CHAPTER 6: SOME PASTORAL PERSPECTIVES A partner is defined as a person who takes part in an undertaking with another or others. Between the people of Faith and the Church, we make for excellent partners on a journey that leads us through life and to God. An exceptionally important part of this journey is that of marriage. To every person, marriage is an exciting mystery filled with potential which requires our best effort to understand and responsibility to develop: truly it engages us all. Pope Francis Amoris Laetitia speaks to how the partnership of marriage involves a role and responsibility of man and woman to become a committed couple. It recognizes how a couple shares something with one another which they will not and could not share with any other person on this earth: it is a love unique between them and from any other form of human relationship to be found. This is so because God designed it to be so; God created us to connect with another and we sense this within our very selves. The first experience of this bond of love is within our families. It begins and is felt in child to parent, it is seen between mother and father, and it is developed in families to our communities. Indeed, the qualities and intention of a strong marriage are its own reward; we follow this by the example of those who live it well and the way in which they inspire others to live and give to the same. Within any new relationship there is always excitement and challenge. As education prepares us for our future, so a quality formation in marriage will assist in preparing couples for a life lived between two and among the wider community. A couple does not know what they may encounter together; but they desire to be prepared, both to overcome challenges and delight all the more in the joys which will surely occur. The Church stands ready and willing and is eager to offer pastoral assistance through this time of early growth. Sound preparation and mature formation will become the foundation to their success. And, the simple ways can often be the surest of ways to achieving this success: intimate time together, communication in community, and speaking with God. Over time, and as this couple matures, they will then be able to give back in witness and wisdom perhaps to children and hopefully to younger couples who explore and learn this for themselves. In so doing, each person of every family will pass on the tradition and values received, and so contribute to the experience and heritage for a future generation. Amoris Laetitia affirms how love is always a gift from God; like any good gift, we seek to show and share it with those around us. A married couple in love naturally share their love with those around them. The Church in general, and the Parish in particular, are places which recognize, celebrate, assist, protect and promote their relationship. In turn, the couple will receive affirmation, advice, and assistance as we would within a home. However, if a married couple no longer attends the Church or choose not to draw on their Faith which brought them to each other, it may become similar to walking a long path alone. Such a path is indeed private and a couple will have one another on which to draw support, but it eventually becomes lonely and they risk becoming lost or subject to greater difficulties without help. Furthermore, to do so would be for them to miss out on a shared experience of past and present with others, while the rest of the community misses their contribution for the present and the future. The Church continues to offer and desires to share the sacredness of the Sacrament of Marriage. Like a guide on a journey or an expert within a field, so the Church can and will be for a couple who are searching their hearts in love: it is and will always be a companion who seeks to introduce and relay God s will for them. The Church has travelled this road of life for over two thousand years and so can point out what to do, where we should be, with whom we should seek company, when we ought to arrive, and why we are capable of doing so successfully. It is through this purpose which Amoris Laetitia expresses and confirms how husband and wife are always special partners to each other, and how married couples are vital and valuable partners with the Church; together, we will then be and become the faithful partner to God - God who is and remains our pastoral partner for life and for all. ~Father Dean Dowle

12 March 2017 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. ~John 3:16~ The Gospel of John is deeply rooted in love-the love of our God and His Son for us, our love for God and his Son, and our call to love each other. This particular verse of the Bible is one which you will often see posted simply as a scriptural reference, John 3:16, on signs at public events, sporting events, and at roadsides as an example. It is a message that Christians love to share, and even non-christians recognize the symbolism. This passage is also a perfect one for us to reflect upon as we enter this Lenten season. This is the time when we realize that God s love, manifest in the gift of his Son Jesus, leads to eternal life. These words are the ever-present message that whispers to us from the cross. The Archdiocese of Edmonton is once again celebrating a Day of Confessions. The day will be held throughout the Archdiocese on Wednesday, March 8, Visit their website to find times in your parish. DivineWorship/DayofConfessions-Hours The Spring brings many opportunities for our students to showcase their learning in the fine arts. This month, students from across the city will share their talents in many ways. Spring Into Art, a student art exhibition, runs from March 6-19 at the U of A Enterprise Square building. Band Share Day is on March 7 at the Winspear, and Heart of Glee is on March 16 at 7pm at the Myer Horowitz Theatre. Our Council of Elders is hosting a Pipe Ceremony to welcome and honor the Spring season at St. Francis of Assisi School on March 23 at 10 am. Visit the Council of Elders section on our website to learn more about their role in sharing knowledge with our staff and students and fostering relationships between our District and the Aboriginal community. This year, we have an increased focus on building a positive mathematical culture and creating environments of numeracy within classrooms and across the school. Whether it be a continued focus on deepening basic math skills or making authentic connections between daily learning in math and the broader world around us, our students are moving forward in their journey towards in-depth mathematical literacy. At the elementary level, a guided math structure enhances the learning of all students through targeted instruction by the teacher; over 100 teachers have attended workshops in this area this year. Our secondary students are deepening their mathematical skills through an intentional focus on problem solving, critical thinking and assessment. Students are experiencing success through engagement in rich mathematical tasks such as problems of the week, an example of which can be found at this link as well as many local, national and international math contests. Numeracy week happens March 13th-17th; we are looking forward to hearing exciting stories about mathematical learning! As you prepare for your Lenten journey, I would like to share some words from Pope Francis. He reminds us that serving others can be as basic as acknowledging their sacred human dignity Lent is a favorable season for opening the doors to all those in need and recognizing in them the face of Christ. Each of us meets people like this every day. Each life that we encounter is a gift deserving acceptance, respect and love. (Message of the Holy Father Pope Francis for Lent 2017, 07/02/17) Have a wonderful month! Sincerely, Joan Carr Superintendent
