Please see attached form from last year for available options and pricing. |

Volunteers are an invaluable group of individuals who provide a sense of community for the many parish and school activities at St. Catharine. It is the expectation of the St. Catharine Advisory Board that each parish family fulfills their obligation to actively support and participate in the parish and school. In addition, it is expected that parents volunteer their time and talent in helping with church and school-sponsored activities and programs. Such involvement is not only necessary for financial stability, but parents can provide a valuable service to the school and to the children by their dedication and support. In order that tuition rates may be kept at a reasonable level, parents are asked to volunteer for a minimum of 50 hours. per family
“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart” ~Elizabeth Andrew

St Catharine Boys Lacrosse |
|
The St. Catharine’s boys lacrosse teams (1/2 and3/4) played hard this year. The 3rd and 4th grade team was led by Andrew Kebe who’s coaching ministry was nothing short of amazing. Some of the boys were even in a tournament and won 3 out of 4 games in Obetz, Ohio.
Way to go, Irish!
