  • Catholic High School Information

    Seventh and Eighth Grade Families are asked to be on the lookout for communication from our incredible Catholic High Schools inviting your family to events and tours throughout the year. This is a great way to find the perfect fit for your student as they continue their education. If you have specific questions or don’t want to wait for their official events, you can reach out to the schools directly at any time.

  • Red Ribbon Week

    Our 2024 Red Ribbon Week is scheduled for October 21-24, 2024. It is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a drug-free America. To help with planning, we are sharing our
    Red Ribbon Week Tentative Schedule with families. Although the daily events may be updated, the theme days are set.

  • Fr. Johnson's Installation Mass - Greeters Needed

    Fr. Johnson will be formally installed as Pastor on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller will be the celebrant. We are looking for a number of Third Grade through Eighth Grade students to serve as Mass Greeters. This Mass will count towards the 2 required Mass Greeter Dates for the Fall Bulldogs for Christ Service Journals. Those who are able and interested are asked to sign-up using the regular Mass Greeter Sign-Up Link and choose the 5:30 p.m. Mass on Saturday, November 2, 2024.

  • Input Need - Thanksgiving Luncheon

    Each year, Blessed Sacrament Catholic School hosts our Family Thanksgiving Luncheon on Veterans' Day. This is done as a number of parents, guardians, and grandparents have the day off allowing high family participation without having to utilize personal time off. As we begin initial planning, I am aware that caterers have significantly raised prices to accommodate for higher operating costs. Knowing the incredible sacrifice of our families, I would like your input on this year's Thanksgiving Luncheon. I invite you to please take our Family Thanksgiving Luncheon Survey this week. I will share the results of the survey in next week's edition of Spike's News.
