The Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ
Greetings!

Congratulations, class of 2021! This year has not been the easiest for our school community. The pandemic has made many changes and adjustments in the academic life of our students; mask-wearing, social-distancing, distance learning, and limited interaction with one another are just some of things that these students have had to endure. Given all that, our students have demonstrated their best effort to maintain a healthy and fruitful academic year.  Read more...

Please note the changes in Mass times - we hope you can join us!
Read on for updates about bricks & pavers available for purchase, ministries, volunteer opportunities, and events.

God Bless,
Fr. Ritche
