| All Souls Day - Commemoration of the Dead |
In the heritage of the Roman Catholic Church, November 2 has been set aside as a day when we remind ourselves to pray for those who "have gone before us, marked with the sign of faith." The entire month of November is then dedicated to pray for them and for the healing of memories in their regard. Faculty and students are invited to submit the names of deceased loved ones to be remembered in prayer throughout the month of November. Their names will be placed on the altar in the chapel and commemorated during Mass. If your family wishes to provide additional names to be included in our month-long remembrance and prayer, please email the names to us at
[email protected]
and we will be sure to add them to those already in the chapel.

Students involved in extra-curricular activities will have their group pictures taken for the yearbook the morning of Friday, November 15. Students are to dress in school uniform.
