Weekly Prayer
Please enjoy this special prayer for parents from the Salpointe Parent Association:
Almighty God, fill us with wisdom, understanding, and patience to accept and love our children as they are. Let them know that we appreciate the struggle they are making toward maturity.
Let each of us listen to them when they need a listener. Give us a sense of hope and humor so that we bend and do not break under the stress.
Finally, give us the insight to know when our work is done and the courage to let our children go and do their work. This we pray through Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us.

Seniors
College Counseling Information for Seniors
We are excited to begin working with Seniors as college application season gets underway! Our goal is to guide and support you throughout the college admissions process.
Please take a few minutes to review the information in the Senior College Planning Newsletter – Aug 26, and discuss it together as a family. We know there is a lot to think about and process, and we are here to help you navigate each step along the way!
College counselors will meet with seniors individually and during Community Period to provide guidance on the college application process. New this year, the University of Arizona application is available only through the Common Application. To help students get started, we’ve created a guide with tips for completing the Common Application that answers many of the questions students may have as they create and submit their applications.
If you have questions, please contact your college counselor:
