Catholic Schools Week
January 26 to February 1, 2020
Leading up to Catholic Schools Week, the Resurrection school community gathered for an
All-School Mass on Thursday, January 23 to celebrate the past, present and future of our school.
We welcomed Cardinal Cupich to preside at this special Liturgy where we honored the Sisters of the Resurrection for their 98 years of vision, dedication and leadership. We also showed our appreciation to the Christian Brothers of the Midwest as they prepare to assume the sponsorship of Resurrection College Prep. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our school!
