Dear School Parents,
Yesterday was the Confirmation Retreat for our 7th grade students. The students spent time learning more about the sacrament of Confirmation, acting out parables, and meditating on their faith. A special thank you to Mrs. Vautrinot, Mrs. Continanzi, Mrs. Miller, Ms. Ferro, Mrs. Upton, Deacon Salhaney, and Fr. Jeff Pomeisl for providing our students with a spiritually enriching experience.
Congratulations to seminarians Jonathan Castro and William Mendoza on their ordination to the Order of Deacon. Please continue to keep Jonathan and William in your prayers as they continue on their journey to the priesthood.
Our students had a spooktacular time at the Trunk or Treat and 8th grade Halloween Party. Thank you to all of our class reps, Mothers Club officers, and parent volunteers for all of their hard work!
