Celebrations from the Week:

We are thrilled to share that the Catholic United Financial Raffle is nearing its conclusion. The last day to sell tickets is March 2nd, and all sold and unsold tickets must be returned by March 3rd. So far, we have raised $2,500 of our $9,000 goal! If you need more tickets to sell, please reach out to Trudy in the office. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Additional Information:

On the way to school yesterday I listened to this podcast from Fr. Joe (Joe in Black Ministries).  It ties in so well with the doldrums of winter. In many ways, we can relate to Noah.  We are trapped inside our houses, needing to get outside, and tired of taking care of our daily chores.

As always, we are grateful for your ongoing support and dedication to our school community. Together, we can make a difference in our children’s lives. We look forward to our continued collaboration and the wonderful experiences that lie ahead.

May God Bless,

Mrs. Garvey
