"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Dear School Families,
The month of June marks the beginning of many momentous occasions.   Our traditional Move Up Ceremony was a special moment for the student body.  We celebrated the academic achievements of our 8th graders and honored them for their service to our school and parish community.  This was a wonderful opportunity for the rest of the student body to see the possibilities for academic achievement and service that are offered here at Holy Rosary.
We also celebrated Father Roberto and Father Bart with a special song "You've Got a Friend in Me" sung by our Kindergarten, First, and Second graders.  It was a sweet beginning of many planned events to wish them well as they journey to their new adventure. The students also presented our Dominicans with Love Jars containing special notes, jokes, and heartwarming gratitude for their years of service to our community.
Our 8th grade graduation celebrations begin tomorrow with a Baccalaureate Mass at 9:30 a.m. and Graduation at 7:00 p.m. in the church. We invite you to join us as we pray with and for the Class of 2018 as they begin their journey into a bright future.
In partnership,
Mrs. Fely Fajardo
Principal

Parents & Our Catholic Identity


About five years ago I decided I wanted more from my spiritual life.  I wanted to know why some people possessed a certain kind of energy when it came to their faith in God and why I didn't have that energy.  After talking with Fr. Roberto and receiving spiritual guidance, I began to incorporate the following: contemplative prayer, reconciliation, surrendering to God.  To read more about the Daniels Family click here
