The traditional beginning of Catholic Schools’ Week is Sunday Mass
when everyone in the parish gathers to celebrate the Eucharist in

special week than by gathering to hear the good news of the Gospel
and celebrate the Eucharist. Please join us at our special
School Mass at 11:00 a.m. as we honor our distinguished
graduate, Sr. Theresa Gallagher, Class of 1967. Following Mass,
coffee will be served in the lower school. Enjoy our School’s

dressing down and enjoying a special luncheon. |
