Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
I would like to begin by celebrating the success of Steps for Students. It was fun seeing so many of our families at the big race! We are rolling straight into our next big fundraiser, Parish Date Night. This event is tailored for the parents of the school and parish community. We invite you to join us for an evening of fellowship, dinner, dancing, and fundraising. Tickets are available for purchase in the school office, after some of the weekend Masses, or via the form that went home with your child last week. Please keep the success of this event in your prayers! The proceeds from this event will be used to help purchase new reading textbooks and upgrade the school security system. Be sure to spread the word and invite your friends and family for a fun night out.
Blessings,
Mrs. Canino

Carlo Catholic High School
The high school years are a critical time in one’s faith journey. Young people may fall away from
the church or choose to commit to their faith. Yet there is no Catholic high school in our area.
We are working to solve this problem.
Last year, a feasibility study was completed to build a new co-ed Catholic high school in this
area. The Archdiocese has granted permission to move to the next stage of promoting
the project and gathering support!
Our Mission: is to form disciples by providing an education that is Authentically Catholic and
Academically Excellent!
And with great joy, we have chosen Blessed Carlo Acutis as the patron for the school! Soon to
be canonized, what better patron for a Catholic high school than a teen from modern times, who
lived his life devoted to Jesus in the Eucharist.
Today, we are excited to announce we are launching: “Building Carlo Catholic – Planting
Seeds of Faith” the first stage in our campaign.
We know many of you have been waiting for a Catholic high school. Now is the time!
But we cannot do this alone, and we invite you to join us.
We ask:
- First, to please pray for us – that God will bless and guide this endeavor.
- Second, let us know if you would like to volunteer.
- Lastly, prayerfully consider a pledge of financial support.
We will be hosting information sessions at St. Clare on March 26 and 28 where you can learn
more.
Together, let’s build Carlo Catholic!
Thank you

Featured Family
As a family striving to serve Christ through our Catholic faith it is abundantly clear the world seeks to subvert that faith especially in our children who are so susceptible to influence through electronic devices, namely social media. Because of that, we choose to protect our children from this outside force and work to teach them virtue and holiness in Christ Jesus. As they mature and their minds develop, access to technology can be reassessed. - Aaron, Maria, Jack, Daniel, and Michael Robichaud
