October 20th is the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima
“On this 100th anniversary of Fatima, we are reminded again to contemplate its message and embrace its devotions. Although the Angel of Peace and Our Lady of Fatima appeared during the carnage of World War I, the divine messages are perhaps even more relevant today. As faithful disciples, we are called to be holy, and intercessors for each other. Fatima was a wake-up call to strive for peace.” - By Brian Kranick
On this day we will recognize and honor Portuguese traditions and celebrate Our Lady of Fatima. We are also in need of volunteers on this day. Please contact Ms. McLeod at [email protected] to volunteer.

The Freshman Retreat will be held at Our Lady Help of Christians (The Salesian church across the street from school) from 7:50-2:37.

Permission slips will be sent home in the next two weeks.
Christian Service Program
I am excited to announce Mr. Croghan will be taking over the facilitation of our Christian Service Program. Mr. Croghan has many years experience volunteering in our community and is a recognized expert at leading youth in service activities. Please contact him with any questions regarding student service hours.
On October 11th Mr. Croghan has arranged a day of service for the seniors who are behind in hours. He will be reaching out to these seniors with details.
