Good morning, everyone.

Weekly Scripture Matthew 7:12: Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.
Daily Announcement:
April: Arab American heritage month… Mothers Against Drunk Driving Founder Candy Lightner:
Candy Lightner founded Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) after her 13-year-old daughter Cari was struck and killed by a drunk driver on May 3, 1980. The sentence given to the repeat offender of driving while intoxicated outraged Lightner, who had to do something. Today, MADD is the largest crime victims’ assistance organization in the world, with more than 3 million members and supporters.
By now I’m sure you are aware that Governor Tim Walz announced yesterday, April 23rd, that the state’s public K-12 schools will stay closed for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year.
Bishop Andrew Cozzens, the archdiocese’s vicar for Catholic education, and Jason Slattery, archdiocesan director of Catholic Education, announced the recommendation in a letter to school leaders April 23, hours after Gov. Tim Walz announced Minnesota’s public and charter school buildings would remain closed for the rest of the school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic…
Ascension Catholic School will be following the governor’s executive order and guidance of the Archdiocese of Minneapolis and St. Paul and our school will operate utilizing distance learning for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year. We will provide additional details in the coming days and we thank you for your continued partnership.
