6/4/26 School Mass

6/11/26 Final School Mass and Awards Ceremony

We warmly invite you to join us for our Kindergarten Prayer Service and Promotion Ceremony on Friday, June 5, 2026, at 9:00 AM in the church.

During this special celebration, our Kindergarten students will lead us in prayer as we recognize and celebrate their promotion to 1st grade. We are proud of all they have accomplished this school year and look forward to sharing this meaningful milestone with our school community and families.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you will join us for this joyful occasion.

We are excited to announce our upcoming Middle School Dance, to be held on Friday, June 5th, at 6:00 PM in the Parish Hall.

The dance will end at 9:00 pm. The Parish approved an additional hour.

The ticket purchase includes food for the students attending the event. (pizza, fruit, Hawaiian punch, water, cookies)

The raffle tickets during the dance will cost $1. We will raffle out sports equipment and a set of earphones.

This event is a community builder for students, not a school fundraiser. This will be a wonderful opportunity for our students to celebrate the end of the school year with their classmates in a fun and supervised environment.

Last day to purchase tickets has been extended to Thursday 6/4/26.

We look forward to a great evening for our middle school students!
