The Diocesean theme for this school year is "Called to Serve", and as a school, we will be focused on the Corporeal Works of Mercy throughout the year. We began the year with an opening mass, led by our sixth grade students. The Dialog covered the event, highlighting the vital aspects of service to others.

Our work with the Ministry of Caring continues to thrive despite the circumstances.
