WATCH: A MESSAGE FROM MSGR. JOSEPH G. CELANO ON OUR SPARTAN FUND

"Our parish and our schools certainly share in this one mission of the People of God. We are blessed by the many people who personally participate in our mission by putting themselves and their gifts in service to it, especially in our schools," said Msgr. Joseph G. Celano, pastor and director of schools.

"More and more, our schools are becoming schools of choice for many families simply because they are rooted in an educational philosophy unique in the Catholic tradition," he added. "I am personally inviting you to support our fundraising efforts at both Immaculate Conception School and Immaculata High School."

SCHOOLS TO PARTNER FOR SPARTAN SPRING LUNCHEON

Immaculata High School and Immaculate Conception School will bring our schools together for a Spartan Spring Luncheon, combining the success of Immaculata's Fashion Show and Immaculate Conception School's Tricky Tray.
