From the Principal

Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.

Psalm 72

Hello Everyone!



I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with moments that made memories for your family.  As we enter the sacred season of Advent, we are invited once again to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Lord. This is a time of joyful anticipation and renewal, a season marked by hope, peace, love, and joy.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of witnessing one of my favorite events at St. Emily.  Congratulations and thank you to our 8th graders, Mrs. Bergstrom, Sr. Molly, Sr. Danielle, and Mrs. Caldrone for a beautiful candle lighting ceremony yesterday.

It’s official!  Our new uniform provider will be School Uniforms by Tommy Hilfiger.  They are currently building our school site and I will update you when it is ready.  Special thanks to the parent committee who helped me vet the vendors and provided valuable input on the selection of items.


Have an awesome week!


Ms. Booth
