We often find an excuse not to pray. We would like to offer you an excuse to pray and a chance to come join us in prayer. Each Wednesday we have Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. We begin with Exposition at 7:30 a.m. and continue through the school day until 1:30 p.m. when we have Benediction. Throughout the day, Theology classes take turns spending some time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. You are invited to join us. If you are interested, please follow this link to sign-up. If there is any change to the schedule, we will be sure to keep you informed. Thank you for your willingness to pray with us and for your example of prayer for our students.

Worth Repeating

Counseling Corner

SOS Curriculum

The juniors will be completing the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Signs of Suicide (SOS) curriculum on January 17. SOS teaches students signs of depression, including suicidal thoughts, and how to respond. The main strategy we teach students is to ACT: acknowledge, care, and tell. Acknowledge there is a problem, let them know you care about them, and tell a trusted adult (over 21). We encourage parents and staff to use this same model with the "T" changing to tell a trained adult or therapist. A parent letter has been mailed home this week. If you feel your student needs any additional support our school counselors and student wellness counselors are here to help.
