Parish Festival - THANK YOU!
What a fantastic Festival! Thanks to the incredible support of our school and parish community, this year's Festival was a wonderful success!
To our amazing school families, thank you for your generosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to lend a helping hand. Your continued support truly makes a difference! A special thank you to our dedicated school staff for going above and beyond, putting in those extra-long hours at the ticket booth, raffle tent, and parent volunteer table. Your hard work and cheerful spirits did not go unnoticed! We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Festival Committee, all Parish organizations, Linda Kucera, Selene Luna, the Religious Education Department, and our wonderful Parish Office staff. Your countless hours of planning, dedication, and teamwork helped bring this special event to life.
It takes a community to make something this special happen, and we are so grateful to be part of one! Thank you for making this year's Festival such a fun, memorable, and successful celebration!

The Life Skill of The Week is...
COMMON SENSE: To use good judgment.
Common sense is behaving in a practical and sensible way. For example, wearing warm clothes when it is cold outside; going inside to stay dry when it starts raining; and before stepping out into traffic β looking both ways.
Be practical and show us how you use your common sense this week!
