Catholic Schools Week begins with the 10:00 am Mass on Janu-ary 26. Students should dress in formal uniform for the Mass and will receive a dress down pass if they do so. An Open House follows beginning at 11:30 am and ending at 2:00 pm. Please plan to attend the Mass and spread the word about our wonderful Catholic education.

I am especially grateful to you for choosing our wonderful school and to our faculty and staff who are dedi-cated, caring, and effective in order to ensure the best possible education for our students. Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.
