7th grade continued their dissection unit with frogs this week.

Our Simply Catholic Sisterhood group enjoyed a wonderful Lenten pilgrimage to The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Alabama.

We are so proud of our 8th graders on their Confirmation.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created,

and you shall renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. O God, who have taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit,

grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in his consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sampierre and Achein Jatta are this week's SCS Outstanding Citizens. Both boys volunteered to help set up chairs and assist our facilities team after school. Our team was so thankful for their assistance and it saved everyone time. Way to go boys!

The Parent Portal is open, and you can see classes. You can access it for the directory, Fun Lunch ordering, and announcements. To help guide you through the Parent Portal, we have created a short tutorial video so that you can navigate this platform with ease as you check grades, order lunches, update information, and more.

The 7th graders worked so hard and performed the Passion Play for the entire school and parents. Thank you to Sister Delia Grace and Ms. Payne for their hard work and dedication! It was the perfect way to get us ready for the Triduum.

We were so blessed to have the the arm of Saint Jude Thaddeus, venerated in Rome from ancient times, visit St. Catherine's.

One of the Church’s most beloved saints, Saint Jude is the one to whom people turn when they are desperate and have tried everything else. When things seem lost or unbearable—when they seem hopeless—Saint Jude is the one to whom people often turn. All students and families were able to visit the relic during the day, and our own Jude was excited that the event took place on his birthday- that might be the very best birthday gift.

The first graders showed off their own version of Calvary. We discussed Christ’s crucifixion on Calvary and the sacrifice He made for the world which is symbolized by His cross’ central placement between the thieves, Dimas and Gestas who only received forgiveness because Jesus gave his life for their and the world’s salvation. Afterward, the young artists used oil pastels and shadow casting to represent this sacred moment. 

Third graders learned about the art of Mosaics and tesserae while looking at the Art of some Famous Catholic Churches throughout the world. Then created their very own Lenten mosaics using either a Cross or Dove as the central theme focusing on warm and cool colors or a combination of the two. What a fun way to focus on Lent! 

5th graders completed a project based on Artist of the month, Symbolist Artist Gustav Klimt. They used gold paint to create a beautiful free form Moon and spent hours meticulously using patterning and symbolism to add visual interest to their stylized cat! After the cat was done, it was added to their moon background and they added fine stylized background details of gold and silver to make it shine! It was a labor of love that sure paid off!
