Let Your Light Shine!
I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but have the light of life.

Onsite Visits for Accreditation - We welcomed five special guests on Wednesday morning! It was wonderful to share with them all the great things about our school! This visit is part of a seven year cycle we have with MNSAA, our accrediting association. Karla Cross, Director of Catholic Schools in the Diocese of New Ulm, was here on Tuesday for a visit. She reviewed the same information and visited classrooms. Her focus was on the Catholic Identity of the school. We will receive a written report in a couple weeks.

Special thanks to the families who helped with meals and hospitality for our guests this week...Rachel Dirks, Heather Deshayes, Chris Mish, Jessica Yost, Brenda McHugh, Heather Gilbertson, Ann Johnson, Jen Schmidt, and Kelli Miller!

Spring Program - Mark your calendars because you will not want to miss our Spring Program on Thursday, May 9th at 6:30 PM in the church. This program will feature the talents of all students in preschool through sixth grade!


Blessings to you!
