Prayers
Prayers
We continue to pray for our ICS teachers and students as they settle into the routine of this school year. May God bless their time spent together in spiritual and academic formation!
We pray for peace in our hearts, homes and world.
We pray for the success of the upcoming Back to School Cookout. We hope for a great turnout of families and that it deepens our school's sense of family!
Have a prayer request? Send it to icsmzele@icstampa.org.
Hope Will Rise
Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us (Romans 5:3-5).
At Incarnation Catholic School, we believe that we can do hard things. This growth mindset enhances learning and development and allows students to learn, grow in their faith and become the people that God created them to be.
Hope does not disappoint and Hope Will Rise!
ICS Picture Day
ICS Picture Day is this upcoming Tuesday September 1. Order forms have been included in this week's packet.
