Tri-school mass with Bishop Fernandes

Students from Newark Catholic, St. Francis and Blessed Sacrament gathered yesterday for their annual tri-school mass traditionally held during Catholic Schools Week, which was postponed to this week due to snow in February.

Tune into next week's Wednesday Wave for a recap of all the Catholic Schools Week festivities!

General School News & Information

The Newark Catholic community mourns the loss of staff member Braden (Brady) Thress. The news of Brady's unexpected death over the weekend weighs on us heavily. His positive presence radiated throughout the cafeteria each day; he was always certain to greet anyone who entered with his huge smile.

Please join the NC community as we lift in prayer Brady's wife, Carol (NC class of ‘89); sons Cormac (NC class of ‘23) and Cameron (current NC junior) and the extended Thress family.

To allow for faculty, staff and students to attend Brady's mass of Christian Burial, we will cancel school Monday, March 30.
