It is with a gratitude and enthusiasm that we announce that the Dragon Dash collected nearly $80,000 for our school. This was definitely a community event, and we thank each and every student, volunteer, staff member, and donor for your participation.

Fundraising proceeds are used in a variety of ways to enhance the learning environment at St. George. This includes:

• Purchasing technological tools
• Beautification projects around campus
• Increasing security and safety measures
• Updating fixtures and furniture
• Purchasing classroom resources

In the upcoming weeks, we will be evaluating the most effective way to use the funds from the Dragon Dash. Some ideas that will be considered include, purchasing virtual reality headsets, making improvements to our Science Lab, updating our Library, adding additional security cameras, and/or upgrading to a keyless entry system.

After careful consideration of which projects would be most beneficial and feasible, we will let you know how these proceeds will be used. Thank you again for your generosity and support.

2022 Season of Creation Prayer

Creator of All,

 From your communion of love your Word went forth to create a symphony of life that sings your praise.

By your Holy Wisdom you made the Earth to bring forth a diversity of creatures who praise you in their being. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

You called human beings to till and keep your garden. You placed us into right relationships with each creature so that we could listen to their voices, and learn to safeguard the conditions for life. But we turn in on ourselves and away from our co-creatures.

We close our ears to the counsel of our fellow creatures. We fail to listen to the cries of the poor and the needs of the most vulnerable. We silence the voices of those who hold the traditions that teach us to care for the Earth. We close our ears to your creative, reconciling and sustaining Word that calls to us through the Scriptures.

We lament the loss of our fellow species and their habitats that will never speak again . We grieve the loss of human cultures, along with the lives and livelihoods that have been displaced or perished. Creation cries out as forests crackle, and animals alike flee the fires of injustice that we have lit by our unwillingness to listen.

In this Season of Creation, we pray that you would call to us, as from the burning bush, with the sustaining fire of your Spirit. Breathe upon us. Open our ears and move our hearts. Turn us from our inward gaze. Teach us to contemplate your creation, and listen for the voice of each creature declaring your glory. For “faith comes from hearing.”

Give us hearts to listen for the good news of your promise to renew the face of the Earth. Enlighten us with the grace to follow the Way of Christ as we learn to walk lightly upon this holy ground. Fill us with the hope to quench the fires of injustice with the light of your healing love that sustains our common home.

In the name of the One who came to proclaim good news to all creation, Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Catholic High School is excited to offer a Band and Bruinette Night for 6^th-8^th graders on Friday, September 23. This experience gives St. George students the unique opportunity to perform with the CHS/SJA Band and Bruinette Dance Team to get a sense of what it means to be a part of a high school band.  It also allows the students to experience the spirit of these two well-established high schools and their traditions.

St. George students and parents can register and find out more information about CHS Band and Bruinette Night here.
