March brings us into the Lenten season, a time of repentance and reflection on Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.
One of the central themes of Lent is self-sacrifice and living for others. As a Catholic school, we strive to follow Jesus' example. Serving those in need helps us put His teachings into practice. This month we give back to our community by collecting paper goods for Joseph’s House, and we will march in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in support of the Hunger Project. All families are encouraged to join us!
The Bishop Grimes Theater will present Beauty And The Beast on March 15 & 16 at 7:00 PM. This is a must-see show filled with excitement and enchantment! Get your ticket today!
Finally, a reminder that our school's annual auction is just a few weeks away! The auction is a tremendous opportunity for our families and school community to support of the Bishop Grimes Scholarship Fund. For any questions regarding the auction or to get involved please contact Mrs. Holly Wait, hwait@syrdiocese.org
