It's Homecoming Spirit Week!

An important email went out on Friday with all of the important Spirit Week details, including the daily Dress Down Day Themes, the 2026 Homecoming Court, and the 2026 Homecoming Charity (JG3 Foundation). If you missed it, please review it here. 

Most importantly, don't forget to get your student's $30 pass for all of the events of the week here. Be sure to purchase this before school begins again on Tuesday.

Enjoy your Fall Break Day tomorrow!

LC seniors Isabella Lagrutta, Maddie Pustay, Cameron Jones, and Philip Beuke represented Lansdale Catholic at Friday's Celebration of Catholic Education and Sacred Heart Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia.

Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez was celebrant at the Mass, which was attended by 1,200 students and educators from across the Archdiocese.

Congratulations to Gabrielle Kim '29, who has qualified for the PIAA State Golf Championship in State College! Gabby will compete tomorrow in the PIAA 2A Girls' Individual Championship at the Penn State Golf Courses. Congratulations, Gabby, we are cheering for you from Lansdale!

LC Girls Tennis impresses once again! Danielle Foret '27 and Grace Donathan '29 are continuing their undefeated season after defeating Carroll, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, to win the PCL Doubles Tournament this weekend!

On a cold and windy day, Dani and Grace showed tremendous patience, grit, and determination, battling back after dropping the first set to secure the victory. With this win, they advance to Districts at the end of the month. Congratulations, Dani and Grace, we are so proud of you!
