A Message from the Principal

Dear CC Families,

We had quite a week at Coyle and Cassidy! Our middle school students enjoyed the scholastic book fair, celebrated grandparents and grandfriends, enjoyed homeroom games, and made Valentines for Vets. Our High School students shared poignant reflections on service, made care packages for Vets, and celebrated vocations. Most importantly, our entire school community joined together in prayer to celebrate the great blessing of being part of a Catholic School community. Catholic Schools Week at Coyle and Cassidy was a great success! I am pleased to share a letter to our Catholic School parents from Bishop Edgar daCunha. In this letter you will find information about an upcoming conference sponsored by the Diocese of Fall River. It will be held on March 7th at Stonehill College with the theme “As I have done, you must also do.” See link here for full letter:
