Shrove Tuesday is a reminder to return to God with sincerity and humility, just as we hear in the words of Joel 2:12-13:
"Even now," declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate."
As a community, let’s embrace this day with prayer and gratitude, preparing ourselves for the journey of Lent.
This is our last stop for the winter season! Come and learn what sets CISND apart during the College of the Rockies career fair.
Superintendent Pamela Guilbault reflects on the beginning of the season of Lent.
"This Lent, may we seek a renewal of heart, leading not by mere instruction but by the radiance of our faith."

Prayer for the Holy Father
From Archbishop Michael Miller
Almighty ever-living God, eternal health of believers,
Who willed that our infirmities
Be borne by your Only-Begotten Son for our salvation,
Listen in kindness to our prayers
For your servant Francis, our Pope and Shepherd:
Grant him, we implore you, your merciful help,
So that he may be restored to your Church in good health,
Ever ready to serve the flock you have entrusted to his care.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you
In the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
This week, Superintendent Pamela Guilbault reflects on Luke 6:27-38.
