“The power of prayer has been understood by all the saints, and especially, perhaps, by those who have illumined the world with the light of Christ’s teaching.” - St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Hundreds Head to Campus for Open House 


It was a packed house at LC on Thursday night, as hundreds of future Crusaders and their families descended on campus for academic info sessions, building tours, an athletics and activities fair, and snacks/swag in the Resource Center. Huge shoutout to Mr. Casey Farrell (Director of Enrollment Management), the LC Student Ambassadors, club/activity participants, student-athletes, teachers, staff members, coaches, and all who made this critically important night such a success. We made a great impression showcasing our incredible community to future members of the Classes of 2031, 2032, and 2033. WE ARE LC!

Academic Affairs

First Quarter Reminders

Parents and guardians, please check PowerSchool as the first quarter wraps up this Friday. Students should be spending some time each night studying for tests and quizzes, working on assigned projects, and completing assigned homework. If you do not see your student doing any homework at night, please remind them to check Schoology daily and encourage them to focus on their studies.

The results of the PSAT/NMSQT and the PSAT 8/9 tests administered in October are available in your student's College Board account.

Doctors’ notes for absences or lateness must document the reason, and must be handed in on the same day that the student returns to school. If a student fails to hand in a doctor’s certificate within three days of returning to school, that certificate will not be accepted as a means to excuse the absence or lateness.

Funds from North Penn Mazda Drive Will Support House System


LC welcomed our friends from North Penn Mazda back to campus on Wednesday so they could present us with a check for $5,350. More than 100 LC supporters came out to test drive Mazda vehicles at the BE MOVED Drive Program on October 21st. Mazda’s generous donation will be used to support the LC House System, which is designed to promote student engagement, enhance school spirit, and instill a greater sense of belonging among our students. Using themes of fortitude, loyalty, justice, charity, wisdom, and integrity, the six Houses at LC are designed as smaller, tight-knit communities within our larger LC community. Year-long House activities include service, academic, athletic, and social pursuits, with a culminating “House Olympics” at the end of the year. Pictured, left to right: Gina Kelly, Advancement Associate, Eliana Cangialosi ’27, Meghan Callen, President, Jorge Campacci, North Penn Mazda General Manager, John Sell, Mazda Sales Manager, Colton McKeogh ’27, and Jill Gregori, Director of Institutional Advancement. Eliana and Colton both serve as House leaders at LC. Thank you to all who participated in this worthy fundraiser. Thanks, North Penn Mazda!
