Dear School Parents,
This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi.We reflect on the real presence of Jesus in the Bread and Wine. I hope to see many of our school families at the procession following the 11:30 a.m. Mass. The procession will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate as a community.
Congratulations to the Class of 2023 on their graduation! We are so very proud of you! May God bless you always!
