From the Principal

Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.

Psalm 24

Hello Everyone!


I hope you had a wonderful long weekend! 

Thank you to all the parents and guardians who attended Parent Teacher Conferences last Thursday.  Students will be so much more successful when parents and teachers connect and communicate.

A special shout out to all the veterans in our lives.  Thank you for your service. We will be honoring veterans on  Friday during a special celebration that begins with Mass at 8:30.  Thank you to our Veterans Day committee for organizing the event.

If you haven’t already, please take a few minutes to complete the Archdiocese Fall Satisfaction Survey that was sent out last week. This information is very helpful to us as we plan for the future. Here is the link for your convenience.


Please join us this Sunday at 11:30 for our November Family Mass.
