Prayers
Please pray for Mrs. Liz Lazaris, ICS 5th Grade Teacher, and Mrs. Lazaris's family as they struggle with the loss of Mrs. Lazaris's mother this past Monday. We hope and pray that Mrs. Lazaris and her family can find comfort and peace through the love and grace of Jesus Christ and by the love extended to her from ICS.
We lift up the Elkins family in our thoughts and prayers as well. Mrs. Elkins' grandmother passed away into eternal life. May God usher to the Elkins family His love, comfort, peace and strength as they cope with this loss.
We continue to pray for Mrs. Sirianni and her family as they mourn the loss of her father. May God grant strength and healing to Mrs. Sirianni and her family and may Mrs. Sirianni feel the outpouring of love and support from her ICS family.
We also continue to pray for the family of Isaac Rosa as they grieve for the passing into eternal life of Isaac's maternal grandfather, Pablo Aviles. We hope that the love and support of the ICS family can be extensions of God's love and mercy during this difficult time.
We pray in thanksgiving for the many blessings God has bestowed upon us, especially for the gifts of family, friends and faith.
We pray for our ICS Household and Priory initiative. May God use this intentional time to forge community to enhance our school spirit, deepen our faith and increase academics and behavior.
We pray for the financial success of this Saturday's 2015 Auction event. May God bless the work of the Auction Committee and may He bless the ICS Family with the resources needed to accomplish our ICS Mission to uphold our tradition, inspire disciples of Christ, challenge all to be life-long learners and strive to live our faith in service to each other and the community.
We continue to pray for safety and shelter for all people and property throughout the remainder of the 2015 Hurricane Season.
Have a prayer request? Send it to icsmzele@icstampa.org.
Hope Will Rise
As we excitedly anticipate our 2015 ICS Auction, we humbly ask for your committed support and generosity in meeting the financial goal of $55,000 to help sustain and advance the mission of Incarnation Catholic School.

The Master Class on November 6 will be given by soprano Jennifer Sunshine. Ms. Sunshine and Ms. Maniscalco have been working together for over ten years giving concerts in schools, concert halls, and churches in New York City. In January of 2013, the duo raised $3,000 at their concert, "Songs for Sandy," given to benefit the Brooklyn Community Fund and specifically, a family that had been affected by Hurricane Sandy. Ms. Sunshine is very excited to meet the students of ICS and work on their Christmas music with them!
This Masters class on Friday November 6 will take place in the Church in the afternoon. Therefore, the November Morning Assembly has been moved to the next week, Friday November 13. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Maniscalco: maniscalcos@icstampa.org.
