The holidays are just around the corner and now it is time to begin St. Andrew's Holiday Outreach. Last year, our school worked very hard to fill 170 Holiday Boxes with non-perishable food items for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals for both Parish and School families in need.
Our hope is to fill as many boxes again this year. Each homeroom is being asked to fill 2 "Big Boxes" and 2 "Small
Boxes." Please contact your homeroom coordinator if you have any questions.
I
f you or your family would like to fill a box or two, a supply of empty boxes with food lists attached is available through the main office. Please
click here
for a copy of the box list.

Looking for a book to deepen your knowledge of Catholicism? Anything by Dr. Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, will teach you about your faith and its roots in Scripture. Check out A Father Who Keeps His Promises, on the shelves of our spiritual lending library at the school's entrance.
In this book, Hahn explores the "covenant love" God reveals to us through the Scriptures and explains how God patiently reaches out to us despite our faults and shortcomings, to restore us into relationship with his divine family.
Join Hahn as he follows the high adventure of God's plan for the ages, beginning with Adam and Eve and continuing down through the generations to the coming of Christ and the birth of the Church. You'll discover how the patient love of the Father revealed in the Bible is the same persistent love he has for you.
