PTA Trunk or Treat

The PTA will be sponsoring a Trunk or Treat in St. Catherine's parking lot on October 25th from 10 AM- 1:30 PM.  All NCCS students are welcome as well as neighborhood families.  Come decorate your vehicle and pass out candy or just dress up and collect candy!  We will have a 50/50 raffle, concessions and a photo opportunity.  Please help our if you are able!


Fire Safety Month

Please take the time to help your child become comfortable and familiar with the gear worn by a firefighter.  Often children involved in a fire rescue situation become afraid of firefighters because of all of the gear worn for safety.  The link will take you to a kid friendly  video about firefighter gear.



Families Fully Alive Events

These events are family friendly events, to encourage and inspire everyone who is part of the family of faith to share in the spirit of the World Meeting of Families & Pope Francis' first visit to the United States, and to ignite a renewed evangelization for the families in our Diocese.
In these Deanery events, everyone from our parishes, schools, and homes are invited to experience the love of family through live music, praise, worship & Eucharistic adoration, a special World Meeting of Families commemorative video, and testimonials from pilgrims who attended the historic events in Philadelphia this year.

Letter from Bishop Thomas

PLEASE BE CAREFUL while driving in the parking lot.  Little ones are walking and are hard to see!
