Names of Remembrance

In November, as a community of faith, we remember and honor those who have gone before us. We give thanks to God for their presence in our lives and the memories and life lessons they have given us.

We invite you to share with us the names of your loved ones who have died so that we may include them in our prayers and pray for them during the month of November. Submissions are due Saturday, October 27th, at 12:00pm.

Ash Wednesday Prayer Service
in the Gym

Lent is a season of preparation for Easter glory.

This Mass gives thanks for the four years of hard work completed by students, faculty, staff, and families of the Class of 2024. The doors open at 4:30pm with a select group of seniors offering preludes starting at 4:45pm. The Symbol Procession (Seniors process into the gym holding symbols associated with their four years of high school and placing them at the base of the altar as a sign of gratitude) begins at 5:30pm with the Baccalaureate Mass immediately following. This Mass is step one of the Graduation Ceremony. As a faith community, we offer thanks to God for our many blessings. Come join in the celebration. Due to the size of the gym, each family is limited to 5 seats (plus the senior). Please use this form if you need special seating for people with mobility concerns.
