It is my heartfelt prayer that the Blessed Sacrament and our Blessed Mother shower our school community with joy, grace, peace, and laughter in the coming year. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Father Johnson or me with any questions, comments, joys, or concerns. We’re here for you and your family!

    After evaluating the need for additional safety of our students, a change in our dismissal process will be implemented this year.
