Saint Dominic School Annual Christmas Concert

The Annual Christmas Concert has been a beloved tradition here at Saint Dominic School for many years!

With GREAT excitement and thanksgiving, on Monday, December 11th, students in PreK, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade presented a beautiful Christmas performance telling the story of the Holy Family on their journey to Bethlehem and singing favorite Christmas classics.

Sharing the Nativity with others brings such joy to all of the students. Through the Nativity scene, we can witness our Lord’s great love for us. How great a love that He would enter into humanity in such a way that displays the path of humility leading from that humble scene in Bethlehem to the cross where our Lord sacrificed His only son for our sins!

A special thank you is extended to Mrs. Burlington, Mrs. Mauriello, Mrs. Mulligan, Mrs. DeLaHoz, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Brouder, Mrs. Bucci, Ms. Nemeth, Mrs. Rybczinski, Mrs. More, Mrs. Gates, Mrs. Caputo, & all of our special performers!

Church Contributions

A review of the weekly contributions has been completed, and it has been brought to our attention that many families are in arrears. According to the school contract, families must contribute a minimum of $10.00 per week in order to qualify for the "Active Registered Catholic" tuition rate from January 1, 2023 to November 30, 2023.

If you are behind in your contributions or have any questions regarding tuition, please contact Mrs. Christine Gallahue in the rectory office at 732- 840-1410. Thank you!
