Weekly Peek – January 30, 2026

Weekly Prayer

Holy God, shape the hearts of all within Catholic schools. Instill virtues of honesty, kindness, courage, and humility. Guide students to choose what is right, even when it is difficult. Help educators model integrity and compassion in word and action. May Catholic schools be places where character is formed through faith, service, and love. Strengthen consciences to reflect Your truth, and empower each person to live as a faithful witness to Christ in the world. Amen. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Pray for us.

Summer Opportunities
Many colleges offer pre-college programs for high school students. These programs are educational experiences held on college campuses that help students prepare for college life. They typically take place during the summer and are offered in a variety of formats. Participants engage in academic coursework as well as social and enrichment activities. View our list of pre-college programs here.

Photography Equipment Donation Request
Salpointe’s photography program is seeking donations of digital or mirrorless cameras and lenses. With more students than available equipment, your donated camera or lens can make a meaningful difference by giving students hands-on access to real photography tools. If you have any questions please reach out to Ms. Rashka at krashka@salpointe.org. Thank you for your support!
