TC Welcomes New Mothers

This week, TC welcomed new Crusader moms into our ever-growing community! Mothers of freshmen and transfer students gathered at The Rusty Pelican for an afternoon of fellowship, making new friends, building connections, and enjoying a delicious lunch together.

Dr. Edwards led the women in a meaningful activity highlighting the important role mothers have played in firmly rooting their children in character and faith. Through years of love, guidance, and nurturing, they have helped establish strong roots that will continue to grow as their children enter this new chapter of high school.

Now, as their students begin their journey at Tampa Catholic, those roots will continue to be watered and strengthened by teachers, coaches, peers, and the many others they will encounter throughout their years at TC.

Dr. Edwards thanked the moms for entrusting their children to Tampa Catholic and allowing our Crusader community to help them remain rooted in faith and inspired to excel!

Dear TC Parents,

Theatre TC is excited to put on another dazzling production for the Crusader community with the fall show. This play will be centered around working class Americans and our talented actors will take the stage representing all different kinds of work and careers. For this, we need you!

Please click below to view the wishlist for items needed. Theatre TC kindly requests donations of these materials for costuming and props. This is an opportunity for clearing out old items you may not use anymore and to donate clothes that do not fit or are taking up space in your closet.

These donations will not be for parent points, and will be considered a gift from the heart to support the arts program at TC.

Please prayerfully consider giving an item, or a few, to the show. Label your donation “Theatre TC” and drop it off at the front office or have your student deliver it to Joyce Mayhew. If you have questions, please contact jmayhew@tampacatholic.org.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at the fall semester performance!
