Dear Parents,
We are going to kick off our Catholic Schools Week Celebration
this Sunday during the Parish 11:00 a.m. Mass. We want to celebrate the partnership we have with our parish and let parish members know we are thankful for their support. We also want to recognize the role you have as parents in being the primary religious educators of your children. Our teachers will be leading the mass as readers, and we are asking our students to come in uniform. Please join us!

Each month students learn a Bible verse and recite it together at school during our morning prayers. We also pray a particular prayer each month.
Our Bible Verse for January is Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Our prayer focus is the
“Anima Christi”
