Mass of Peace with Bishop Barber—Dress Expectations 

When we welcome Bishop Barber, who represents both our local Church and the wider Catholic community, it is customary to present ourselves with reverence and respect. Across cultures, dressing formally honors the significance of an occasion. Just as we would for a wedding or graduation, we show care in how we present ourselves at Mass.

For this Wednesday's liturgy, students are asked to wear black or khaki pants, or if choosing a skirt, black tights, along with their white polo and navy sweater or blazer. This polished, intentional look reflects the dignity of the Mass and unites us as a community in celebration.

Students are expected to wear the full dress uniform when they arrive at school and for the duration of the Mass. If the weather is warm, students may remove their tights after Mass. Students may also remove their sweater or blazer outside during break or lunch.

THANK YOU to those whose investments have lifted up this Campaign. Their support has helped raise OVER $2.6 million. 



With less than $1 million to go, we’re confident that our community will come together and push us over the finish line. The project is on schedule and within budget, set to open this November. Soon, our students will have the learning, training, and wellness spaces they truly deserve.

Every contribution to this campaign counts. Gifts of $1,000+ will be recognized on the Power of Her Donor Wall in the new Gym Lobby. There are still dedicated naming opportunities in the Performance Center and at the CAC for those who wish to leave a lasting legacy.
