Supporting Our Peru Mission Trip!

Join us for a fun-filled evening at TC Trivia Night and help support our students' mission trip to Peru in June 2025! Proceeds from this event will reduce trip costs, allowing students to serve the mission school and build homes sponsored by our Christian Brothers and mission drives.

Can’t make it? You can still support the mission trip by donating. Checks can be made payable to Tampa Catholic High School with "Peru Mission Trip" in the memo line.

The freshmen class will hold their candy gram fundraiser during the week of 2/3-2/7! Parents are able to purchase a candy gram for their student along with a Valentine note for $5 using this link.

The form will open at 8:00 am on Monday morning, 2/3 and close at 3:00 pm on Friday afternoon, 2/7. Candy grams will be handed out on Valentine's Day. Support the freshmen class by surprising your student with a sweet treat!

Tampa Catholic Students Take a Stand

at March for Life

A group of Tampa Catholic students traveled to Washington, D.C., to take part in the annual March for Life, joining thousands in a powerful stand for the dignity of human life. Inspired by their experience, they returned home with a renewed commitment to advocating for the unborn and living out their faith.

A Special Senior Night for Crusader Basketball

On Wednesday night, our senior boys' basketball team took center court for a memorable Senior Night celebration! Congratulations to Isaiah Campbell-Finch, Colby Cannizzaro, and Kobey Hall on their outstanding contributions to the team. Your dedication, leadership, and hard work have left a lasting impact on the program. We’re proud of you, and we can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next! 

Today we close out the first month of 2025 and we pray the Faith Focus theme has led to an increase in enthusiasm and intentionality when it comes to building connections and community in all areas of your life. Here at Tampa Catholic we do our best to model St. Luke’s message in the Acts of the Apostles. “They devoted themselves to the teaching of the Apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread, and to the prayers.” Acts 2:42 What a relief to know that a life of authentic connection is formulaically laid out for us in the Word of God. We pray 2025 has begun beautifully for you and your family and we praise Jesus for all the ways you enrich this Tampa Catholic community!

Be sure to keep up with all things Crusader!
