Below are the Sacred Triduum and Easter Mass times. The Knights of Columbus will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt for all students and parishioners in Preschool-4th grade. More details can be found on the flyer below. I hope everyone ends this Lenten season with peace and fulfillment!

I pray everyone has a fun and relaxing Spring Break! We look forward to celebrating the last 4 weeks of the 2024-2025 school year with the students when we return from break!

As always, thank you for all you do to support the school!

Gratefully,

Federation of North American Explorers (FNE), a Vatican-approved Catholic scouting organization.

My sons Nick and Gabe are members as are several other parish families, and I also volunteer as a leader with the group.

While we participate in traditional scouting activities, our primary mission is to help form boys into strong Catholic men. Boys typically join around age 7 or 8 and can remain active through age 18.

The day after the fish fry, Fr. Berger kindly led our Promise Ceremony and encouraged us to grow the group and look into holding meetings at the school gym or St. Philip's. (A photo from the ceremony is attached.)

To help raise awareness, we’ll be ending our spring camp on Sunday, April 27th by attending Mass at St. Francis de Sales (camp typically ends on Sunday with mass). Our leaders will be available after Mass to speak with any interested parents about the program—whether they’d like to join this spring or at the start of our next program year in September.

For questions, or more information, please email Leader Mark Burleson (Sahi while in my FNE uniform). His email is mburleson@protonmail.com
