St. Patrick's Intermediate Blog March 28 to April 1

Jesus is Risen
The image of the empty tomb is a strong symbol for Jesus' commitment to His mission here on earth.  It became a symbol of shame for those who had persecuted Jesus, for they were left with the undeniable truth of His consistent message.  Jesus' followers, who all seemed to be at various points of belief, were rewarded by the discovery of His empty tomb on Easter morning.  The stories and prophecies He had preached had all come true.  

As we journey through the season of Easter, may our abilities, talents, and relationships be strengthened by the example of Jesus.

Stations of the Cross
On Wednesday, our Youth Group, under the direction of our chaplain, Mr. Paul Kozak, presented the Stations of the Cross in dramatic tableau.  The school was so attentive and respectful of this moving event one would be able to hear a pin drop in the cafeteria.  

Shamrock Classic Basketball Tournament
This weekend (April 2nd and 3rd) our own version of "March Madness" takes place as the annual Shamrock Classic Basketball Tournament occurs here at St. Pat's Intermediate.  Eight schools from across the Board will be participating in this exciting event.  Good luck to all!
