Happy Friday, friends! 💖

Saint Valentine’s Day is tomorrow! If you're anything like us, your home or classroom may be full of hearts, cards, and reminders of love. This weekend, the Church invites us to look a little deeper and remember that Saint Valentine was not just part of a holiday tradition - he was a real saint who pointed others toward the love of Christ. For young children, this is a beautiful opportunity to talk about love in a simple, faith-filled way: love as kindness, generosity, and care for others.

Additionally, next week marks the start of Lent in the Church. Lent is a sacred time for our Catholic families to slow down, reflect, and prepare our hearts for Easter. Taking time now to gently talk with our children about prayer, sacrifice, and love helps us enter this season thoughtfully and with purpose.
