JMJ Dear Family, I do not have any COVID updates to report today. However, the boys basketball game for tonight has been cancelled due to a COVID case at North Central. Some of you may know that Pope Francis has dedicated this year to be “The Year of St. Joseph!" St. Joseph is my personal favorite saint (for obvious reasons). Saturday, May 1st is the Solemnity of St. Joseph the Worker. I was just informed that Bishop John Doerfler has decided to give all students, staff and teachers the day [...]

JMJ Dear Family, Today is the Solemnity of the Annunciation! We celebrated a wonderful Mass and I know our Lady is always watching over us. Her words changed the world forever when she said “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.

Tomorrow is the last day to register for next year and receive [...]
