Weekly Newsletter: 4/22/2025

This morning, Fr. Baker addressed the 7-12 student body regarding Pope Francis' death yesterday. During that address, he spoke about how we join the Church in mourning the death of our Holy Father. Even as we celebrate this Easter season, he invited our Upper School students to consider spending time in prayer with their families for the repose of Pope Francis' soul, as well as performing some sort of penance for whomever the Holy Spirit calls to be his successor. He also invited our entire community to consider beginning a novena, praying a daily rosary, or offering attendance at daily Mass for this intention. Please consider joining our students in prayer for the repose of Pope Francis' soul and for the election of the next pope.

As summer approaches we are looking forward to the 2025 Aggie Open. This event helps raise money to support Aggie athletics and keep costs affordable for our families. Please consider contributing one of the below items to help make this a success. We need the following:

12 - bottles of liquor/wine

10 - $10-15 gift cards

15 - $25 gift cards


Donations can be dropped in the school office. Please include your name and mark the item “Athletics” or contact Mrs. Sara Bruggemann.
