Principal’s Update 9/8
Dear Parents and Faculty,
Today is the Birthday of Mary, Mother of Jesus. May we take some time today to say at least a decade of the rosary for the many intentions that we hold close to our hearts.
Wednesday is the 23rd Anniversary of 9/11. May we keep in prayer all those who died, for their families and friends, the first responders, and all who were and have been greatly impacted by this tragedy. Also, may we continue to pray for the end of violence and for peace in our hearts, in our country, and in the world. Prayer is a powerful tool!
Be assured of a remembrance in my daily prayer
God bless,
Sister Margaret
- On Friday, September 6 we came together as a school community to celebrate our first school mass of the 2024-2025 school year. I want to thank the Class of 2025 for their active participation in the mass. The young men did a beautiful job leading the liturgy. Also, I want to thank Mr. Rich Grillone and the choir for leading us in song. The voices of our boys are truly angelic. A special thank you to Ms. Goode, Ms. Taylor, and Sister Mary Anne for their preparation of the liturgy. We are blessed to have the opportunity to participate in mass with one another and offer in prayer our many school and family intentions
