Adoration + Saint Shirt Day

October 2nd


On the First Friday of every month, our students spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. This is also the day that students may wear their saint shirts. CCS saint shirts from any year may be worn. If you need to purchase a saint shirt, they are available for sale in our Spirit Shop.

Blessing of the Pets

October 2nd at 3:30pm


Join us for the Blessing of the Pets after school on Friday, Oct. 2nd at 3:30 p.m. in front of the Parish House located at 454 Evergreen Road. Students are invited to bring their pets to receive a special blessing from Fr. Pat in honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, which is on Oct. 4th. All pets are welcome! Please make sure all pets are on a leash or are caged. All members of the parish are invited to attend the Blessing of the Pets.

Traffic Advisory Notice

Friday, October 2nd


President Donald J. Trump will hold a midterm rally at the Mitchell Center at the University of South Alabama campus on Friday, October 2nd. Due to our proximity to the USA campus, we wanted to make sure all parents are aware that there could be increased traffic on Old Shell Road at dismissal time on Friday. The program does not begin until 6 p.m. on Friday, but the doors for the rally are expected to open at 2 p.m., which means traffic could be heavier in areas that may be on your normal route to campus. Please take this into account when planning your routes to and from school on Friday afternoon.

A Note About Forms

Health + Emergency Contacts


Please note that in addition to our digital Health and Medical History form, which is used by our school staff, we are required by the Archdiocese to collect medical forms that are specifically used for field trips. These forms must be in a specific format provided to us by the Archdiocese. The field trip medical forms must be taken on the field trip by the teacher in case a medical circumstance should arise while students are not at school. We also collect emergency contact information in multiple formats as part of our safety and security policy. Please know that all requests for information are for the safety and security of our students.

 
 

Living Our Faith

Bible Verse + Prayer for September


Each month our students learn a Bible verse. We also choose a prayer to focus on each month. For the month of September our Bible Verse is Proverbs 3:5. Our prayer for the month is the Our Father. We would love for you to practice the Bible verse with your children at home.


Proverbs 3:5

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”


Our Father


Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
