Calling All Former Alum Passion Play Participants, School & Faith Formation

Kathy Faith Formation, Parish Activities, Prayer Opportunities

As we prepare for our upcoming Passion Play, we find ourselves reflecting with gratitude on those who have helped bring this sacred story to life in years past. Your involvement as a 7th and 8th grader a few years ago or many, many years ago as a Passion Play participant at St. Valentine left a lasting mark, and it would be a true blessing to welcome you back on Good Friday, April 3rd as part of the “crowd”.

We warmly invite you to join us again—The Passion Play is not only a performance, but an opportunity for fellowship, reflection, and shared faith, and your presence would mean a great deal to us.

If you feel called to participate or would like more information, we would love to hear from you. Please email Bonnie Danic at bdanic@stvalentineschool.com

Prayer for the New Year 2026

Kathy Prayer Opportunities

Heavenly Father,
as I stand at the threshold of this new year,
I come before You with a heart full of hope and trust.

Thank You for the gift of another year,
for the grace You have given me,
and for Your faithful presence in my life.

I place this new year into Your hands.
Guide my steps, protect my heart,
and help me grow closer to You each day.

Bless my family, my work, my relationships,
and all the intentions I carry in my heart.
Give me strength in trials,
wisdom in decisions,
and peace in uncertainty.

Lord, may this year be one of grace, renewal, and deeper faith.
I trust in Your providence and surrender all to Your will.

Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
