Saint Blaise


Fr. Karg visited our classroom and blessed our throats as a part of Saint Blaise.















Catholic Schools Week - FRIDAY


We enjoyed an assembly that focused on thanking others.  We thanked Father Pfeiffer, Father Karg, and Deacon Amedeo for leading us in the light of Christ.  they guide us through weekly Mass, classroom visits, and daily example.

We also presented the First Responder Care Packages to Police Chief Nice and Fire Chief Tucker.  A central aspect of Catholic education is learning the importance of service to others.  When students take part in service activities -- both local and beyond -- they demonstrate the values and faith they gain through their Catholic education and learn how to make the world a better place.  When they observe how others serve the community, they gain an appreciation for how they can continue to serve others their entire lives.










Catholic Schools Week - THURSDAY


We participated in Mass in honor of Candlemas.  Fr. Pfeiffer blessed our candles and we processed from the PAC into the Church.  After Mass we made our candle projects.
