Notre Dame will be hosting an Open House/Breakfast on January 29th to say thank you to the parishes and show off our school to prospective students. The open house will be after masses on the 29th and will run from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. The Notre Dame Teachers will be there to greet and answer questions. Tell your friends or better yet bring them to mass and the open house: Openhouse

An exciting week of Faith, Academics and Service is planned for Catholic Schools Week: Jan. 28th - Feb. 5th. Go to Catholic Schools Week to find a full calendar of events for student and parent opportunities. Join us in Faith, for "the ultimate" gathering of our Notre Dame Community, in celebrating the Holy Mass together: Sat. Jan. 28th at 4:30 p.m. (St. Mary Catholic Community) or Sun. Jan. 29th at 9:00 a.m. (St. Francis Xavier). The 4:30 Mass is a Bread Mass celebration for our 2nd graders. And after the 9:00 Mass all are invited to the N.D. Open House and Breakfast. In addition to coming together for Mass all are welcome to participate actively, just like our students and teachers do every Friday as altar servers, readers, eucharistic ministers, gift bearers, ushers, and musicians. FYI--We have very minimal participation for the 4:30 St. Mary Mass. Sign-up today at:
