This Week

School counselors are visiting sophomore and junior classrooms this week and next week for a PSAT prep session. Students will learn about the format of the digital test as well as discuss test taking tips. At this time students will get access to the Bluebook app and be able to explore its features.

Parents Are Invited to Join Us

One of the efforts to nurture and encourage the spiritual life of our students here at Bishop Watterson is weekly exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Each week, a grade is assigned to spend some time in silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament during Theology class. On Wednesdays, we expose the Blessed Sacrament at 7:30 a.m. and remain in prayer until Benediction at 1:30 p.m. We would like to invite parents to join us. Eucharistic Adoration will be held in Dominican Hall until the chapel expansion and renovation is completed this fall.

If you have completed the “Protecting God’s Children” requirements of the Diocese and are interested in joining us for prayer, please click on the button below to sign-up for a particular Holy Hour.

We would like to thank you for your cooperation with this effort and we look forward to your joining us.
