Our school theme this year is:
“Together We Can: Walk with Justice, Love with Mercy, and Walk Humbly with God”. This year we will focus on how we can walk humbly with God by following the steps of saints, and learning how to be the best version of ourselves for God.
December
In the month of December, we show solidarity for our one human family. It is time to prepare of the coming of Jesus this Advent season. Our saint of the month, Blessed Carlo Acutis showed a path toward holiness in this world.
