Some examples include participation in food drives for St. Vincent de Paul, "homework" to help families learn prayer forms together, and formation within their child's journey through Sacraments such as Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist.
    • Most importantly, our teachers and staff are dedicated to helping our students to live in the light of Jesus by spreading their love to others in service and kindness.
