A LETTER FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Families,

I hope to express to you today how grateful we are to all who donated to the St. Rose of Lima Annual Fund during our Day of Giving.

Each year families give to the St. Rose of Lima Catholic School Annual Fund Campaign to provide immediate-use funding that goes straight to work for students and the school. This year, we have encountered expenses related to maintaining our roofing over our elementary and middle school classrooms .

Together, we have raised close to $30,000 to cover the costs of our roof repair, keeping our children safe and dry. I cannot thank you enough for your support.

But I know who can...
Yours in service,

Bernadette Drabek
Class of '75

MIDDLE SCHOOL ON BREAK

Our Middle School Students represented the community well over break, volunteering at different causes throughout Houston. Beginning at Kids’ Meals on 11-19, they made sandwiches and packed lunch bags for preschool children in need. 

On November 20, they gathered at the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry to help deliver bags of Thanksgiving food to the American Legion for distribution to needy families.
