Dear Cardinal Pacelli Parents,

Fish Fry

This Friday is our final Fish Fry of the season. At our last event, the playground was left in very

poor condition, with pizza boxes, cups, napkins, gum, and candy wrappers scattered across the

turf and jungle gym.

To help us maintain a clean and safe environment, please do not allow your children to take

food or drinks onto the playground. We take great pride in our outdoor spaces and want to

keep them looking as nice as they did when they were first installed.

In addition, children may not run in the gym or climb on the bleachers. These rules are in

place to ensure everyone remains safe and injury-free.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us end the Fish Fry season on a positive and safe note.

FC Cincinnati

Last week in P.E. class, we were excited to welcome the FC Cincinnati Soccer Unites program to Cardinal Pacelli School! Students in grades Pre-K through 8th had the opportunity to participate. The program is led by Omar Cummings, a former FC Cincinnati player and current Club Ambassador. Students learned new soccer skills and had a great time playing fun, engaging games.

Best regards,

Jen Martin

This is your last chance to get in on the action for our Half-Court Shootout Fundraiser. Don’t miss your shot to compete, support a great cause, and be part of an unforgettable event. Trust us — you don’t want to be stuck with FOMO watching from the sidelines.

NEW: No team? No problem.
Sign up as a FREE AGENT and we’ll place you on a squad.

Not sure how it works?
Check the quick preview video on the registration page (link below).

Going to Reds Opening Day? Perfect. Keep the party going — swing by after the game to catch the conclusion of the half court shootout competition + watch NCAA Sweet 16 games on the big screen.

Not shooting? Still come hang and cheer the teams on. $25 gets you in + food + drinks (alcoholic and non).

NO walk-up shooters. If you want to shoot, you MUST register ahead of time.

We’re excited to invite you to the Cougar Combine on Sunday, April 26 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM! This event will be held in the Cardinal Pacelli gym, located at 927 Ellison Ave Cincinnati, OH 45226.

Players will have the chance to compete against their teammates in a series of combine events to see who will earn the title of Top Cougar in each category.

We’re also honored to have Bengals Head Coach, Zac Taylor join us to kick off the event with a welcome message for our parents and players!

After the opening remarks, players will move through their combine stations while we host a Q&A session for both football and cheer parents. Whether you’re new to Cougar Football or a returning family, this will be a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the program, and connect with our coaching staff.

We look forward to seeing everyone there and starting the season off strong! Please see attached flyers for more information.

Our Easter Egg Hunt will take place after the Saturday, March 28th 4:30 PM Mass.

Join us for a fun parish gathering at the playground featuring:
Pizza provided for all
