Spartan Girls Cross Country are back-to-back Regional Champions! Congrats to all of our runners and our two All-Regional Runners: Elena M. '27 (2nd Place) and Erin H. '27 (3rd Place). Best of luck at Sectionals this Saturday!

From October 27-31, we celebrated Red Ribbon Week as a school under the motto of "TOGETHER - Nurturing Relationships to Make a Positive Change." 

Thank you to SADD members, the Counseling Department, and our faculty volunteers who planned an exciting lineup of educational and fun activities, and to our entire school community for participating!

Please consider committing to cook individually packaged meals with family or friends for those who access DuPage PADS Interim Housing Center. Residents do not have access to full kitchens and rely on volunteers to provide meals. To learn more and access a calendar to sign up for a day to cook, click here.

Please join us to enjoy the SFHS Musical Revue at 7:00 p.m. Saturday, November 8, in the Kuhn Cultural Arts Center! The show is fully produced by the students of SFHS and is a great way for them to learn about directing, acting, design, producing, choreography, and more.

Mothers’ Club is hosting the 4th Annual Sip, Shop, Brunch at 11:00 a.m. Sunday, November 23, at White Eagle Golf Club in Naperville.

Take a moment before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season begins to fill your cup with laughter, a mimosa or two, and kick-off your shopping season with lots of fun vendors. Enter the raffle for a chance to win some amazing raffle baskets and centerpieces!

This event is for all ladies 13 and up. Invite your daughters, mom, grandmothers, sisters, or girlfriends to enjoy a delicious brunch in a beautiful setting!

Registration now open! Early bird registration by November 3 includes a FREE raffle ticket!

Today, we recognize All Saints Day with our All-School Liturgy and we’ll continue celebrating next week with All Souls Day, also known as Day of the Dead.

Many families and communities build commemorative altars during this time to remember beloved family members and friends who have come and gone before us. We invite all students and faculty to bring photos of their loved ones to add to the altar in the Atrium near the Ministry Office.

Saint Francis of Assisi gave praise to God for the connectedness of all creation and taught us that even in death we are still united. Thank you to those who have already brought in their photos.
