Senior Parade
Overwhelmed and joyful doesn't begin to describe it. We were thrilled to see seniors and their families return to campus for our Senior Parade yesterday. The smiles and tears on your faces said it all.
Saturday's drive-thru celebration parade circled the campus parking lot and every grad received a specially-decorated cookie and rose from the Parents Association. And were seniors were serenaded by a mix of songs you selected remixed with words of wisdom from teachers and staff.

Full wrap-up coming later this week.

Staying Connected through Morning Prayers
|
Hey Carondelet! Friday was International Day of Families. May on this day and every day we appreciate our families and remember to value our loved ones.
So we pray,
Loving Creator,
Please shine your light upon my family. Give us the strength to overcome all of the difficulties that we are dealing with now and protect us against any and all problems we may encounter in the future. O Lord, please bring us together as we are meant to be. May the love that binds us only grow stronger as we fulfill the calling you have laid out for us. May we also forgive and love one another Lord, as it is sometimes difficult to do.
In your name, we pray, Amen.
St Joseph… Pray for us, God is my light.
In the name of the Creator, the Redeemer, and of the Sustainer. Amen
Have a great morning and be love in someone's life today!
