Pray the Novena with Mother Susan and Sister Anthony – Starts 4-10-2020

Posted on

Mother Susan and Sister Anthony would like to invite you to pray the Divine Mercy Novena with us.

The Novena (usually a 9 day prayer) will begin this Friday, April 10th @ 2:30 PM.

(We moved the chaplet up so those in Davenport could participate in the Good Friday Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion via St. Paul the Apostle’s Facebook page Live. The remaining days of the novena will be @ 3:00PM)

Below is the Zoom Meeting information. Please note the added security feature of a password! It’s “Mercy”.

I will send out the following Novena Days (2-9) meeting links after the chaplet on Friday. I’m not sure if I should put the links in one email, or email one link every day. If you have a preference let me know. Majority will rule.

Lastly, attached is the Novena day intentions and also instructions for the chaplet.

Topic: Divine Mercy Chaplet

Time: Apr 10, 2020 02:30 PM Central Time (US and Canada)

AHS Parent Prayer Group

Posted on

Please join us for a special prayer opportunity at Assumption High School.   Each Thursday at 9:00 AM, our entire Assumption family (parents, grandparents, alumni, etc.) is invited to gather in the AHS Chapel for prayer.  We pray for the students (each by name, one class per week), pray for the students’ intentions (prayer boxes are available in several of the teachers’ rooms), intentions for our entire AHS community, and then conclude praying the Rosary together.  Come as you are and come when you are able and your schedule allows.  Although many of you may work during the day and may not be able to join us, please know, we are happy to lift any intentions you may have and we ask that you remember our prayer gathering and join us in spirit.  

If and when you can join, just simply use the main entrance, register in the school office and find your way to the Chapel…if you aren’t yet familiar with AHS, the office staff or other parents will guide the way!  And PLEASE do not let praying the Rosary deter you – we are all at different levels with this powerful prayer and can learn and grow together.

Online Safety Guidelines for Parents

Posted on

On Thursday, October 17, Officer Hank Jacobsen of the Davenport Police Department came to Assumption to speak to parents of the Scott County Catholic Schools about internet safety.  Here are a few of the biggest takeaways:

  • Consistently remind your student that anything they put online is PUBLIC and PERMANENT. Even when they erase content, many times a ghost image is saved.  Once words or an image is put online, they have no control over who sees it or how far it goes.
  • Don’t block all access to technology. Help your child learn to use technology safely and positively.
  • Be the parent. Set boundaries for technology and use monitoring/filtering software on all devices.
  • Know that a very high percentage of students have at least two accounts for many social media sites – one parents see when they ask to check devices, and one students keep in secret.
  • Keep lines of communication open and encourage your child to come to you when they see inappropriate material. Respond positively when they do come to you.
  • Remember the acronym YAPPY to teach your children what information they should and should not reveal online.
  • Your name- never tell a stranger your name. They could pretend to know you get access to your address and other personal information.
  • Address- Never tell anyone online where you live.
  • Password- Never tell anyone your password. Not even your best friend.
  • Phone number- Never give your phone number to people that you don’t know.
  • Your plans- Never tell a stranger your plans.
  • From Ms. Bush: Remember, a recent study has shown that over an hour and a half of screen time a day correlates directly with depression rates.  While there are many contributing causes to depression, excessive screen time has been shown to be a contributing factor. Balance screen time with “green time.”  Go outside, exercise, read offline, spend time with family and friends.
