Transitions in life can often be difficult. When Father Wilmoth told me he was retiring, I was very worried about transitioning to a new pastor. I have been here for 18 years and Father Wilmoth had been a huge part of all of those years. No one loved and supported catholic schools more than Father Wilmoth. His positive attitude, contagious laughter, infectious smile and prayerful demeanor were something that I looked forward to each day. I was frightened to think of life at St. Roch without Father Wilmoth.
The great news is that the transition to Father Hunter has been very smooth. Father Hunter loves our school and values catholic education. He is positive, prayerful, supportive and forward to many years under his great leadership.
Father Wilmoth made a surprise visit this week and everyone was so excited to see him. Please enjoy the video of Father Wilmoth greeting the kids who love him so much!

On Friday, October 5th, we will have our annual Roch-A-Thon. Our goal this year is to raise $23,000.00. All proceeds will be used to update our technology throughout the school. Your help and participation in this event are essential for the success of our Roch-A-Thon. We hope to have 100% participation from our students. The money that we raise will go directly to the classrooms to purchase new Smart Boards. The boards that we use currently have exceeded their expected lifespan, and it is time to start replacing them.
Our quota for the students is $65.00 for a one-child family, $90.00 for two children, and $115.00 for 3 or more children.
Please Note that all monies should be turned into the school's main office. Payment can be in the form of cash, check (payable to St. Roch), or you can make the payment via Mealtime by choosing the Roch-a-Thon account.

St. Roch 3rd Grade Kickball Team had 11 players this fall season. The girls came a long way from the start of the season to the end of the season. Their record was 3 and 4 but that really does not begin to describe how much the girls learned.
Here is an example: the girls had to play St. Jude 2 times this fall season. The first time was the 2nd game of their season and St. Roch lost 30-5. The girls had to play them again and it was the last game of the season. St. Jude had already won their division and is going to the City Championship. The coach of St. Jude said he was really scared to play us. Well - it turned out that he should have been - St. Roch, 3rd Grade kickball team beat the undefeated St. Jude 3rd Grade kickball team 17-10. The girls played hard and never gave up.
Way to go Lauren, Ella, Layla, Scout, Ava, Violet, Emmy, Nora, Rebekah, Annabel, and Sophie. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!!
