Eucharistic Adoration Begins Today

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, one of the different classes is assigned to spend some time in silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament with their 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.

Student Work Program

Our student work program involves students who assist our maintenance staff after their lunch period for a few minutes each day with the cleaning of the cafeteria tables or floor. As part of this program, families receive a $600 credit toward tuition, or the student can receive service hours. We are currently looking for 3-4 more students in both of our B and C lunches. If your student would like to participate, please complete the form and our facility director will get your child started in the program. 

Counselor Corner



Counselor Classroom Visits

Counselors are visiting freshman and sophomore classrooms to share an overview of counseling information for the year. They are also visiting senior classrooms to kick off college application season and discuss how to manage stress during this busy season.  

Schedule Changes

The schedule change window is open until Friday, August 30. If a student is wanting to discuss a schedule change they should set up an appointment with their school counselor.

College Rep Visits

Each fall, college admissions representatives visit Bishop Watterson. These visits are open to juniors and seniors. Students can view the list of visiting schools and sign up in Naviance and must sign up for the visit ahead of time. They will receive a pass in homeroom and will also need classroom teacher permission to attend as attendance at a college visit will count as a class absence.
