Mr. Wagner's Letter

Greetings!

Tonight is our Homecoming football game and we will be hosting Bishop Chatard High School. I know that a number of our parents are Bishop Chatard graduates. I thought I might share some of the other Bishop Chatard-Guerin Catholic connections for those who may be unaware.

Grandparent's Day

Thanks to the more than 300 grandparents who visited our campus on Monday, October 3 to celebrate the feast day of St. Theodore Guerin with us! All-school mass with Bishop Emeritus William Higi was fabulous and we presented Bishop Higi, founding Bishop of Guerin Catholic, with an icon of Mother Theodore. Mass was followed by a presentation from the writer of the icon---Jan Storms!! It was a fabulous morning at Guerin Catholic High School! We are truly blessed!!
