A Word From Our Parish ... 

Catholic Schools Week:    Is it a school with a parish, or is it a parish with a school? It is a question I always consider when people ask me about Catholic Schools Week, though you might look at that opening question and ask, "What?"
 
It is a good question, because our parish communities have a mandate from the Gospel to preach the good news. Moreover, that is exactly what a good Catholic school does. It is another one of the ministries of a parish: to educate well-rounded individuals in Gospel values, preparing those young individuals to take their eventual place in the larger secular community. All the educational efforts of the parish school are focused on the life of faith. That faith is formed in knowledge of the teachings of the Church and of the Gospel, and those qualities are demonstrated through a life of service to the community.
 
A Catholic school is a community of faith, knowledge, and service, as a ministry of the parish community; and Catholic Schools Week provides a wonderful opportunity for us to reflect on whether we have "a school with a parish, or a parish with a school," and make sure our parish school is living its mandate from the Church.

The Talent Show and Pasta Night is being changed to Thursday, February 12th to allow enough time for the performers to practice. With the anticipation of poor weather for the next 36 hours, we want to be sure the performers are ready. The extension also allows students that have yet to sign up to perform to still be part of the fun-filled evening. at 6:00pm. Dinner will be served from 6-6:45 PM, and the talent show will begin at 7:00 PM. Click here to download the dinner and ticket order form.
