Since we are in the holiday season & we strive to serve others the way Jesus did, the faculty is working on some service projects that we would like the students & their families to be part of.

I understand that everyone is focused on their own families, bills, gift buying, & cooking this holiday season, but as a Catholic school, helping & giving to others is the core of what being a Christian is all about.  Being witnesses to Christ is part of our faith.  These service projects benefit those who truly need our help.  This benefits us too...it feels good to brighten someone's day!  Helping others gives us that happy feeling, which is nice among all the holiday chaos!

Please know that no one is being forced to donate anything.   Give whatever you can.  Any small donation is appreciated by those who truly need it.

Thank you so much to those who have donated to our drives.  It is truly appreciated!
