St. Nicholas Parish News

Michael James Mette's gifts of music, joy, & family life offer the boldness and innocence of youth with the wisdom and depth of lived experiences. The events fall somewhere between a rock concert and a parish mission, with vibrant lights, powerful music, faith sharing, and an invitation to prayer. The music is uplifting without being preachy, creating an environment that is engaging without being confrontational. The concert empowers all ages to pray more fully and worship more freely. Bring a friend! You won’t want to miss this this unique event. The concert is free, donations are accepted. #concert

Pictures From This Week

Mrs. Walford- Gardening Class

4th grade started their vermicomposting unit. The students labeled their anatomy drawings last week as they learned how each part of the earthworm functions and today we started making a 3D model.

Also, I brought in our first harvest of sugar snap peas to the cafeteria which were loved by lots of my 1st grade friends!

3rd grade made insect traps/homes for the winter!

Veterans Day Mass

We celebrated a beautiful Mass honoring and blessing our Veterans. The choir sang beautifully and if you click the link below, you can hear our theme song, Companions on the Journey!
