Ascension Thursday - We will attend Mass at 12:15pm on Thursday, May 10th for the Feast of the Ascension. All are welcome to join us. Please remember that no physical education uniforms should be worn to Mass. The relaxed uniform is acceptable for Mass.
Again this year, we are looking forward to welcoming special guests for a visit. We hope many grandparents and people special to our students will join us for morning prayer at 8:45am in the Parish Center. After a continental breakfast and some student entertainment, guests will be free to visit classrooms until 10:30am when the school community will transition to the church for our traditional May Crowning. Guests will be free to depart after May Crowning as students return to school for the remainder of the academic day.
Gracias Familias! Thanks to all the joined us for Cinco de Mayo last Saturday! Your support of this event directly benefits our students and school.
