The Catholic Season of Lent

The Catholic season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts until the Triduum (April 1-4); Evening of Holy Thursday - Evening of Easter Sunday.

The observance of Lent is a period of fasting, prayer, and penitence that lasts a total of forty (40) days and serves to prepare the Catholic Faithful for the celebration of Easter Sunday. The time frame of forty (40) days is significant as it represents the forty days of fasting and temptation that Jesus experienced in the desert.

Below, we have included some of the Lenten offerings that will take place at Saint Dominic School.

CBA Grants the John Andrew Molinelli Memorial Scholarship to an 8th Grade Student

Please join us in congratulating Christiano Chinchilla upon receiving the John Andrew Molinelli Memorial Scholarship from Christian Brothers Academy!

Christiano was awarded this scholarship following his submission of an honest essay speaking to his experience with the loss of his father.

Congratulations to Christiano!
