Celebrating Catholic Schools Week! 
God of kinship, We ask that You help us to see the sacredness of our connections to one another. May we be thankful for the family, friends, and community in our parishes and school. Help us to see Christ in each other, And guide us to nourish the friendships-in-faith among us. We make this prayer in Your Holy Name, Amen.

Last week we offered Preview Night and the registration process is in process for next year. If you have any questions regarding our school or your child's experience specifically, please contact me. I will gladly meet and answer any questions you have.
Blessings,
