From the Principal's Desk
It's Catholic Schools Week time! Let's go! We're so excited to celebrate with all of our staff, students, and families in the week ahead.
Each year, Father Doyle School marks Catholic Schools Week with celebrations, activities, and friendly competitions. If you are a long-time family of Father Doyle, you know that Catholic Schools Week has always been celebrated in grand fashion here - bolstering school spirit, building camaraderie across the grade levels, and creating unmatched excitement and anticipation. Ultimately, it is a week marked by lasting memories and authentic joy among staff and students. As a reminder, an overview schedule for the week is posted below and can be found here. And don't forget about our Change Challenge as well!
The week officially kicks off this Sunday, January 26th with the 11:30am Mass at Saints John and Paul Church. All students are invited to attend Mass in their school uniforms. The Mass will also include student readers and altar servers! Our annual Winter Open House will then follow from 12:30pm-2:30pm.
Please see below for additional information on all of the upcoming events!
