 GO CAVS!

Excitement continues to build...
and we invite you to be a part of it! Take a look at this week's video to learn more about some exciting events coming up for our families and alumni. And be sure to join us at Mass this Wednesday to help us celebrate all of our Legacy families as the tradition continues! And we hope you'll consider joining our parents' group this Monday night to stay even more involved. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Mark your calendar for Monday, September 10 and join us in the Library for our first regular meeting...

Please plan on attending our meetings and bring your ideas with you! Moms and Dads are welcome. If you cannot make our meetings but want to help, communicate to us through the P3 FaceBook page , or through anyone in the Purcell Marian Family and they will be sure your information gets to us. Here’s to a great school year!
