The Gospel passage for this Sunday recounts the transfiguration of Jesus in the presence of several apostles (Mark 9:2-10).  Seeing Jesus in glory, described as frightening and overwhelming at the moment, must have been a wonderful consolation later on.  I think the passage can serve for us to have confidence in Jesus’ promises and in eternal life. In the busyness of life (and sometimes the messiness of life) it is not always easy to keep a spiritual perspective, or a focus on eternal life, but doing for others continues to make a difference.  I attend a lot of funerals, and it is always wonderful to hear family and friends remark on their appreciation of a person who lived for others.  One’s impact on family, co-workers, neighbors, etc. is happening every day, and so we can make a positive difference, and that can be a consolation for all with whom we interact.

Next week we will celebrate Countdown to Commencement, marking 100 days until the Class of 2024 graduates. This is a reminder that our four years together go rather quickly and that we are called to make the most of our time together. I hope that this celebration is a meaningful one for our seniors and their families. 

This bulletin contains a reminder about the schedule change on March 1st and March 8th. Please be attentive to that change on the school calendar.

Finally, members of the Class of 2028 celebrate their acceptance into the Curley Family. I want to thank you - our Curley parents and families - for supporting our admission efforts by working Open House and other events, by encouraging prospective students to visit Curley, and by spreading the good word about your experience here.

This is a reminder of a school calendar change to the class schedule for the month of March.

March 1, 2024, is now a professional development day for Faculty/Staff. There are no classes for students on that day. This will allow our faculty to participate in the Archdiocesan Professional Day program. 

March 8, 2024, is now a school day with classes for all students. So that we do not have to adjust the school schedule days any further, Friday, March 8, will follow the D3 class schedule.

The countdown is on...we have only two weeks remaining in the class gift competition! Some of our classes took a jump this week. Here are the updated class competition standings:

Class of 2027 -- 1st place (44% of the class)

Class of 2024 -- 2nd place (38% of the class)

Class of 2025 -- 3rd place (37% of the class)

Class of 2026 -- 4th place (36% of the class)

We are SO grateful for your support! We ask all gifts be donated by March 12, so please consider donating your gift soon if you have not already done so.

Class of 2027: “Gifts for Him” 

Class of 2026: “Gifts for Her”  

Class of 2025: “Summer Fun”

Countdown to Commencement is on February 26 which means we are on the home stretch to graduation and the end of the year. Please remind your son(s) to check Plus Portals on a regular basis and to see his teacher(s) if he has questions since we are closer to the end of the year. I also encourage your son to see his teachers for extra support and help if he is struggling in any of his courses. My door is always open if he needs anything. 

Freshman and Seniors will be taking the ACRE test the week of March 4th during their Theology class. This is an Archdiocese required assessment to gauge their knowledge and understanding of what they have learned in Theology class.
