Dear Families,
This week was yet another reminder of why this race and the work we put into it is important. We had a student receive their first communion at our all school Mass this week. Celebrating this sacrament as a school community was an amazing experience. It is yet another reminder that our school does more than provide our students an excellent education, we also have the opportunity to live/profess our faith each day.
Thanks for all you do to support our race and Catholic education!
In Christ, |
