Lumen News – April 15, 2021
Important Upcoming Dates:
- Apr 30: Last School Mass with Class of 2021/Light of Christ Transfer, 8am
- May 1: Prom (11th and 12th grade only), 8-10pm
- May 5: Baccalaureate Mass
- May 6: Graduation
- May 18-20: Finals
- May 20: Last Day of School
Principal’s Update:
This has been our first full 5 day school week in awhile, after taking off Good Friday and Easter Monday. As I greet our students each morning for temperature checks, I can tell spring fever is in the air even though the persistent snow just won’t melt away fast enough! Even though they are focused on their school work, I know our students are looking forward to finishing off the last few weeks of the school year and beginning their summer break.
In the days and weeks ahead, we have much going on in our small school. On April 30th, we will celebrate the last school Mass that we will be blessed by the presence of our Class of 2021 graduates. During this Mass, we will physically transfer the Paschal Candle between members of the Class of 2021 and Class of 2022, signifying the passing of the spiritual leadership of our school from outgoing graduates to rising Seniors. I hope you will consider attending this 8am Mass and special occasion.
The following day, on May 1st, our 11th and 12th graders will hold a Senior Prom in our school gym from 8-10pm. Due to COVID gathering limitations, we are unable to open this event up to any other classes. However, we know our Seniors and Juniors and their guests will have a great evening dancing (socially distanced and masked, of course!) the night away in some semblance of normalcy that we simply were not able to do this same time last spring. If restrictions loosen, I have every intention of allowing 10th graders to attend Prom–unfortunately, we simply are not able to do it at this point.
On May 5 and May 6, we will hold our Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation Ceremony, respectively, for the Class of 2021. Thanks to loosening of restrictions on graduation ceremonies, these events will be open to our graduates, their immediate and extended families, and faculty and staff. Both events will be live streamed on our Facebook page for all other attendees. I hope you will join us in recognizing the accomplishments of the seven members of our proud Class of 2021!
I hope you have a wonderful and blessed weekend!

Upcoming Newman Center Learning Opportunities
Please join us for two fantastic Zoom meetings hosted by Kevin Jones, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and the Cardinal Newman Chair of Catholic Theology at Alaska Pacific University.
The first of these events is a lecture by Fr. Gregory Tatum, O.P. on Tuesday, April 6 at 7:00 pm. Fr. Gregory’s speech is entitled “Christ as Torah-Observant Jew.” He is the author of numerous articles and the monograph New Chapters in the Life of Paul: The Relative Chronology of His Career. An established Scripture scholar, Fr. Gregory has taught theology at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome (the Angelicum) and the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem, and his primary area of research is the Pauline epistles. Fr. Gregory is currently in Anchorage as part-time parochial vicar at Holy Family Old Cathedral.
The next event is on Thursday, April 22 at 7:00 pm and is a roundtable discussion on the bereavement and burial practices in Alaska Native traditions. This roundtable will include Judith Ramos, Assistant Professor at University of Alaska Anchorage and Tlingit scholar, Wilson Justin, a member of the APU Elders Council with an Athabascan background, and Sr. Josephine Aloralrea, a volunteer chaplain at the Alaska Native Medical Center with deep knowledge of Yupik and Cupik traditions, who will speak about how she has integrated Alaska Native practices with the Catholic faith in her bereavement ministry. At the end of their presentations there will be time for questions.
These will no doubt be informative and we hope you can join us.
Happy Easter Everyone! See you on Tuesday.

Many thanks to our Campus Minister, Liz Loeffler, for organizing this great devotional opportunity!

Please continue to keep our student athletes in your thoughts and prayers.

2nd Reminder: Spring Break Travel/COVID Protocols
We know many families will be traveling over Spring Break. Although there have been changes in the State enforcement of travel protocols, Lumen is still following them and we ask that families do too. We want to keep our staff and students healthy and safe after spring break so that we can all finish the year strong. Therefore, if you travel out of state or the country:
-
You and your student(s) should be tested at your vacation destination within 3 days of returning to Anchorage (and getting a negative test result); OR
-
You should be tested at the airport when you arrive in Anchorage (free for Alaska residents, this test result must be negative); AND
-
You should quarantine at home for 5 days (the day you return is Day 0), watching for any signs/symptoms of illness. If you and your student(s) have a negative test, have self quarantined for five days, then your students are free to return to school on Day 6.
There are two exceptions to this rule:
-
Anyone who has had a confirmed case of COVID within the last 90 days does not have to test, nor quarantine after travel.
-
Anyone who is fully vaccinated (fully-vaccinated is defined as more than two weeks following receipt of the second dose in a two-dose series, or more than two weeks following receipt of one dose of a single-dose vaccine) should have a test but does not have to quarantine.

Archangel Attic Needs
Do you have plans for Saturday, March 13th from 1p-4p? No? Well, now you do! We need one helper at the attic – please sign up here: https://signup.com/go/sicntGk if you can help! Every dollar that comes in the door at the Attic comes straight back to Lumen to offset tuition. So the more the Attic is open and successful, the more money that comes back to Lumen, the lower the tuition remains for all students.
Also….If you’ve bubble wrap or a stack of old newspapers that you were going to take to recycle – don’t! Please drop those at the Archangel Attic for use in wrapping fragile items that get purchased. Thanks a bunch.

Have an amazing Spring Break….If you’re going anywhere warm, send sunshine home. I’m ready for snow to be done and spring to arrive! See you on the 15th!
