From the Office of the President

Last week on a beautiful September 28 day, Bishop Ricken concelebrated Mass with representative students, clergy, faculty and staff from all Catholic Schools in the Green Bay Diocese at Our Lady of Champion Shrine.

Fr. Jordan Neeck, O. Praem. concelebrated on behalf of NDA and a group of students represented the Triton student body attended with Ms. Kelly Waters, Mr. Shane Lagerman, and Mr. Kiely chaperoning the trip.

Bishop Ricken emphasized the message of Our Lady of Champion: "Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they need to know for their salvation." In this spirit, Notre Dame de la Baie Academy seeks to extend this teaching mission to all our students and their families.

Upcoming Dates

Eucharistic Adoration - October 9

On October 9 - Solemnity of Our Lady of Champion - Notre Dame Academy's St. Norbert Chapel will be a space to pray with the Most Blessed Sacrament beginning with Mass at 7:20 a.m. to 12:47 p.m. All are invited to come and adore the "Bread of Angels"!

Please sign up using Doodle if you are able to commit to taking some time in silent prayer with our Lord.

“I am the Queen of Heaven who prays for the conversion of sinners, and I wish you to do the same. You received Holy Communion this morning and that is well. But you must do more. Make a general confession and offer Communion for the conversion of sinners. If they do not convert and do penance, my Son will be obliged to punish them.”

News & Information

Be Well NDA - October -

Coping Techniques

This month for BeWell NDA we are practicing coping techniques for when stress gets high. It’s inevitable that stress will happen in life, work, or school to name a few. It’s good to have health coping mechanisms for when life gets tough. We can also practice these skills when life is good, too. Students will be hearing about these techniques throughout the month and hopefully practicing them. If you have a healthy technique that works for you when life gets stressful, share it with your kids this month. See the links below for additional reading on this topic.
