Festival of the Educational Arts is tonight!
We are having a wonderful Catholic Schools Week, but it's not over yet! Please join us this evening from 6:30-8:00 p.m. for the Festival of the Educational Arts. Enjoy the talents of our students and take time to view outstanding artwork and other displays created by our students. Relax and spend time in fellowship with the families of our school. While you are at school this evening, be sure to check out the Time Capsules from 1976 & 2000 we opened earlier this week. The contents are located in the Primary Library, Room 211.
You are also invited to join us for our Catholic Schools Week All-School Mass at 8:20 a.m. tomorrow, Friday, January 31, at which we recognize our volunteers and our 8th-grade families whose youngest child graduates in May. Come and pray with us!

Virtue of the Month
The Virtue of the Month of February is CHARITY!
During the month of February, we practice the virtue of love or charity. Charity enables one to love God above all else and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Love allows us to love as God loves, to will the good of the other. Love helps us to see the best in others and to help others be the best version of themselves. How will you show love today?
