Principal's Message

  • We have begun the 40 Days of Lent. What is your focus on this journey?

    • A time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving

    • A time of self-examination and drawing closer to God

    • A time to prepare for the celebration of Easter

    • A time to confess sins and seek God’s mercy

  • ALMSGIVING – Four Ways to Give this Lent:

    1. Rice Bowls – CRS Rice Bowls are being sent home with each child. Encourage small sacrifices for global hunger relief. Collected at Holy Thursday’s Seder Meal prayer service.

    2. Lenten Kindness Donation Challenge – Encourage acts of kindness while donating items for a School Garage Sale fundraiser at the end of Lent. See the flyer sent home. Flyer here

    3. Lenten Ditty Bag Drive – Help build Comfort Care Kits for the Day of Service. Flyer here

    4. 4th Annual Day of Service – April 5 – Join hundreds of volunteers serving at 25+ nonprofits in Seattle. Volunteer as a family and put your faith into action! Registration link coming soon. Service hours count toward your active parishioner status and school requirements! Sign up here

Community Action –

Cleveland Playfield Traffic Safety Campaign

Cleveland Playfield Traffic Safety Improvement Project Requests
Cleveland Playfield Traffic Safety Improvement Project Requests

There is a campaign at Cleveland High School to help improve the safety of the intersection of 13th avenue South and S. Lucille Street. There are so many families traveling to school (Cleveland, Maple and St. George) as well as commuters heading to work that it creates traffic jams.  Please click on the link above and see what the concerns are. If you agree and can support these, please add to our letter writing campaign to the City of Seattle.  Our pedestrian and traffic safety is in everyone’s best interest.
