On March 5, we begin the holy season of Lent, which will lead up to the climax of our liturgical year with the Triduum. This year, let us not only give up something for Lent but try to do something extra each day to share the glory of God on earth.

*Remember to abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays during Lent and also to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

Prayer for Lent

God, heavenly Father,
look upon me and hear my prayer 
during this holy Season of Lent.
By the good works You inspire,
help me to discipline my body
and to be renewed in spirit.

Father, our source of life,
I reach out with joy to grasp Your hand;
let me walk more readily in Your ways.
Guide me in Your gentle mercy,
for left to myself I cannot do Your Will.

Amen.

Bishop England honored all the Seniors on the girls' basketball team on Friday, February 14th. Seniors on the team are Eran Artigues, Michele Boykin, Mary Harriet Moore, and Camden Taylor. The Lady Bishops competed in the playoffs on Feb. 20th, Feb. 22nd, and Feb. 25th at Bishop England gym and made it to the lower states.

WAY TO GO LADY BISHOPS! 

New Group Forms at Bishop England!   

It could be free baked goods for all or a free Chic-Fil-A breakfast for an entire homeroom.  The Random Acts of Kindness Club is alive and well at BE.  "We simply want to lift spirits, create smiles and satisfy our inner desires to do for others," says club moderator Coach Jimmy Garrett.  Two juniors Madison Gambrill and Victoria Savage were very instrumental in the forming of this group.  "I taught both of these wonderful girls last year, and I believe as a class project during their sophomore year, I may have wet their appetite to do for others.  They approached me before Christmas with a desire to form a club, and I could not turn them away."  The initial response has been tremendous with more than 40 students responding to the call of kind acts.  They also have paid a five dollar membership fee, which serves as the club's budget.  In the future, there is no telling what this club may do for you.  As the club moderator likes to say,  "Don't pay it back; pay it forward!"

Collected 100 Books for area schools

Thank you for supporting Cleats for a Cause!

 Jenny Johanning, community activist from Nosara, Costa Rica, receiving the cleats from Dominick and Isabella Schettini to distribute to the soccer players in La Esperaza, Playa Guiones, Costa Rica.  

  

During the recent cleat drive at Bishop England High School, Dominick Schettini, founder of "Cleats for a Cause," and Freddy Brown collected 15 pairs of cleats. The "Cleats for a Cause" mission is to share blessings around the world through soccer. Dominick started this project 3 years ago before going to visit his family in Colombia, South America.  When he saw the excitement of the soccer players as they received their first soccer cleats, he realized it was just the beginning. Today "Cleats for a Cause" has 6 leaders in three different states.  Their efforts have made a dream come true to 500+ kids around the world in countries like Honduras, Colombia, Uruguay, Uganda, and Ghana. The cleats collected at Bishop England are going to benefit kids in Nosara, Costa Rica. 

 "Cleats for a Cause" accepts donations year round.  Please contact Cleats4cause@att.net to donate your gently used cleats. Website: http://cleats4cause.wix.com/cleats-for-a-cause
