The assembly event will take place on December 9 at 3:30 PM in Dr. Hubbard’s Room (B-18). All completed kits will be delivered to a local night shelter, offering comfort and care to those experiencing hardship this winter season.

This year, Nolan Catholic ranked 3rd out of 44 ministries in the Diocese of Fort Worth, earning additional “prize” funds thanks to our strong placement. Most importantly, you helped us surpass our $100,000 goal, fueling the mission that connects generations of Vikings.
