💙 Our students wore their “Return to the Source” theme shirts today to show support for families impacted by the recent floods. We collected wonderful donations that will be given to the Diocese to help those affected by the storms and flooding.

Here are our PreK students showing their support! 🙏💙

Thank you to our wonderful families for your generosity and support!

Thankfully you don't have to travel all the way to France to experience God's healing power found there! Plan to join us on Wednesday, 9/9 at 6pm for the Lourdes Virtual Pilgrimage Experience.

Pilgrims visit Lourdes seeking physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Many immerse themselves in the waters of the spring or drink from it, hoping for relief from ailments such as paralysis, loss of sight, or chronic illnesses. The Lourdes Medical Bureau has officially recognized numerous miraculous healings, adding to the site’s spiritual significance - maybe you can add yours to the list!

🤖🌿 Robotics meets Biology!

Last week, our Jr. Robotics students had the opportunity to meet biologist Dr. Bell from Newark Catholic and explore biology, biodiversity, and the impact humans have on the natural world.

From cockroaches and bug-eating plants to scientific dilemmas like cane toads and root grubs, Dr. Bell captivated our curious (and squirrely!) young scientists with BIG ideas.🪳🌱🔬

We are so grateful for this opportunity to expose our students to the fascinating world of biology and inspire them to think about the natural world in new ways. We have a feeling this inspiration will last far beyond this season’s Innovation Project! 🌎💡

Morning Prayer for Grades 5–8 🙏✝️

Our students are starting the day with Jesus! What a beautiful way to begin the school day—gathered together in prayer, placing Christ at the center of all we do.

This year’s theme: “Return to the Source”
“Come, let us return to the Lord.” — Hosea 6:1

Unapologetically Catholic. ❤️‍🔥
Rooted in faith. Centered on Christ. Called to return to the Source.

🎨 Kindergarten Art!

Our kindergarten artists traveled back to prehistoric times in art class! They created art like early humans did, using sticks to paint lines, dots, and handprints. What a fun way to explore how people expressed themselves through art thousands of years ago! 🖐️🎨

It was a joy to celebrate our first all-school Mass of the 2026–27 school year yesterday! ❤️

Fr. Tom reminded us that it is Jesus who breathes new life into us and makes our dry bones come alive. (Ezekiel 37) What a beautiful reminder as we begin a new school year!

St. Francis de Sales, pray for us! 🙏
