In Remembrance of Mrs. Ledoux and her 104th Birthday!
In remembrance of our amazingly beautiful and wonderful Mrs. Ledoux, we will celebrate her life and pray for the repose of her soul on her birthday this year.
Our staff and students are invited to be a part of the Wearin' of the Pink on Wednesday, May 5th at no cost, unless a good will donation would like to be made to the already existing
Therese Ledoux Scholarship Fund.
Mrs. Ledoux established this scholarship years ago, awarding 8th grade members of the parish who were continuing their Catholic education at the high school level, the opportunity for some financial assistance. This scholarship will now thrive for years to come as all friends & family were encouraged to make a donation in lieu of flowers. and our school community's contribution to this opportunity is greatly appreciated!

💮The Pink Carnation💮
The pink flower has faded
Laid down to rest
She will never be degraded
We surely feel blessed
We will never forget her beautiful face, 
Her faith or loving smile
She was always full of God’s grace
She exemplified an amazing lifestyle
Although we are sad to see her go
We know that she is with God
To remember her, we won’t need a photo
Because all of us she awed.
(Elegy written by Grade 7 student, Maggie Martin)

"The Holy Eucharist is the perfect expression of the love of Jesus Christ for man."

Please check your children at home as well!
