On May 16, at 9 a.m., the Guerin Catholic Parent Guild is pleased to welcome Jason Evert who will be presenting to Guerin Catholic students:
Romance without Regret: Today's teens experience greater temptations than ever before. In the midst of this cultural assault against innocence and virtue, young people need convincing reasons to practice the virtue of chastity. Some think that "chastity" simply means "not having sex." But that's mere abstinence: what you can't do and can't have. Chastity is more than that, it is about what you can do and have-right now: a lifestyle that brings freedom, respect, peace, and romance without regret. By addressing the issues that teens struggle with most, such as sexual pressure, pornography, modesty, and starting over, Jason and Crystalina offer encouragement for teens to maintain their purity or begin again if they've made mistakes in the past. Click here to view the flyer.
Romance without Regret is intended for Guerin Catholic students. However parents are welcome to watch via livestream via the Guerin Catholic website.
Evert will also host a PARENT PRESENTATION at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church on Tuesday, May 15, at 7 p.m.

Prom Pictures
Maya Laurent from Such Great Heights took some wonderful pictures at prom.
The pictures can be ordered from sghphotos.com. We hope everyone enjoys the pictures.
Maya had a great time that night. After a half an hour of being outside she moved inside to take pictures. So if you do not see your child in an outside picture on her website a yearbook representative started taking the outside pictures and we are working on how those can be made available to purchase.
Parents of Juniors
Lifetouch Studios will be at Guerin Catholic on May 14, 15 and 16 during school hours to photograph all current juniors for their senior portrait.
This portrait will be used for the Guerin Catholic yearbook and for the Senior Composite which will be displayed permanently in the academic hallway. Each current junior should have received an appointment card from Lifetouch Studios with a specific date and time for your son or daughter to report to the media center. Gentlemen will be provided with a tuxedo jacket, shirt and tie. Ladies will be provided with a black v neck drape for the photograph. Ladies may want to consider bringing a camisole top to be worn under the drape.
Purchasing any portraits is optional - parents are under no obligation to purchase any of the portraits from Lifetouch. You will be asked to select one pose for the yearbook and composite. You are welcome to choose your own photographer for any other portraits. Please contact Cathy Dolan at
