Weekly Prayer
Compassionate Savior, During this time of Lent, I recall that in the desert You overcame temptation. When I am tempted to do nothing additional and nothing different in my faith life, Help me to sacrifice sameness To more closely follow You. Amen. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us.
General Announcements
Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences
We invite all families to join us for Parent/Teacher Conferences on Tuesday, February 24 from 5-7 p.m. in Kalil Family Gymnasium and Alumni Hall. This is a valuable opportunity to connect with teachers, celebrate student progress, discuss concerns, and partner together to support continued growth and success. View flyer here.

40 Days of Giving is Here!
Our 40 Days of Giving campaign is underway and runs now through April 2. This year, we are partnering with St. Peter and Paul School, with all donations benefiting the Ronald McDonald House and the families it serves in our community. To add some friendly competition, seniors and sophomores will team up against juniors and freshmen for a chance to win a free cozy day.
Lent invites us to grow in prayer, sacrifice, and generosity. During this season, we give not for recognition, but out of love, choosing compassion in meaningful and tangible ways.
View the wish list on the flyer here. For questions, please contact Ms. Uribe or Ms. DiChristofano. Every item makes a difference.

Students must remain registered with a local parish to receive the sacrament.
Special registration requests will be accepted through May 1, 2025. A $50 materials fee will be added to tuition. Email confirmation@salpointe.org for details or visit the Campus Ministry page here for more information.
