Students absent on this day must make-up this activity.

Since our task is to complement the faith and the example given by the parents, we encourage each family to:
Attend mass regularly on weekends and holy days; As Catholics, we are taught the importance of keeping holy the Lord’s Day. Regular attendance at mass on weekends is a Church law. Pray with their children. Inquire about religion lessons taught in the classroom. Actively participate with your children in stewardship/service projects. In this way, we will be working hand-in-hand to model Jesus’ example for our children.
