October 25th, 2023

Reminder: Freshman Social Tomorrow, October 26th!

Please join us for a social hour for first-year students tomorrow, October 26th, from 6:00-7:30 in the Antioch room. These fun and relaxed evenings are an opportunity for students to get to know each other.

NEW: Due to popular demand, we will be offering an additional Freshman Social Night on November 1st starting at 6:00 pm and concluding with All Saint's Day Mass at 7:30 pm. Parents, please feel free to join us for All Saint's Day Mass!

As a gentle reminder, social nights do not count towards the five youth ministry gathering requirement.
