Principal's Message - May 18th

Happy Wednesday!

Last weekend, we had the great privilege of being a part of the St. Charles Borromeo auction. The St. Charles community is one that has been very supportive of both Holy Rosary and Visitation over the years, sponsoring such causes as renovations for early childhood licensing and new student textbooks. This year, they joined us in raising funds to support our families with tuition assistance. Through the generosity of their families, we were able to raise over $50,000 for Holy Rosary and Visitation schools. Additionally, our fantastic supporters known as the Guardians of Catholic Education have agreed to match this, making the total raised for both schools just over $100,000! Wow! With our commitment to serving all families desiring a Catholic education, regardless of financial ability, this kind of support is invaluable. Thanks to the St. Charles community and the Guardians of Catholic Education. We couldn't do it without you!!


Have a great week!


With Blessings,

Katie Dempsey
