A Letter from Sister John Paul, O.P.

March 20, 2026

Friday of the Fourth Week of Lent

Dear Parents,

 I hope you had a wonderful and restful Spring Break! We are just a few weeks away from Holy Week and Easter and I  pray that your Lent continues to be fruitful for you and your families.

I have been writing about technology and concerns related to our young people, their maturation and flourishing. To that end, over the past few weeks I have offered a few resources that may be helpful to you and your families. I have another resource and an invitation to offer you. There is an exciting new program called Humanality. The name “humanality” combines “human” and “reality” to signal the inventors’ desire for a return to humans living in reality, as opposed to a screen-based life.

I recently spoke with the Executive Director, Andrew Lauerbach, and am interested in bringing the program to Frassati Catholic. Before we launch it with students, I am hopeful that we could have a small group of parents pilot the program.

Humanality is a twelve week program through which a participant receives support for exiting technological addiction and re-entering human, community-based life. The time commitment is about one hour a week to watch an informative video, set personal goals, and to plan a community-based activity that will fill the time that previously would have been devoted to digital activity. 

I would like to ask you to consider joining the pilot group, which will begin during Easter week. Please complete this Google Form to indicate your interest and I will be in touch with you regarding particulars.

Please know of my daily prayers for you and your families. 

God bless you,

Sister John Paul, O.P.
