THANK YOU ARCHBISHOP
In appreciation of the extraordinary efforts and perseverance educators, staff and administrators have demonstrated to maintain academic excellence over the past COVID years, the Archbishop of Detroit is “gifting” one additional day off school to all within the Archdiocese. Read the letter of gratitude from The Most Reverend Allen H. Vigneron here.
We will use this day to extend Easter break, and return to school on Tuesday, April 18, 2023. We are grateful for Archbishop Vigneron’s acknowledgement of the work we all do, "My hope is that this day will provide you with some additional time to spend with family and friends, as well as some time to rest in our Lord."
