“I like praying in school because it’s peaceful and it gives me time to get to know God. When I pray, I feel good because I know God is listening to me.”

“When I come to school, I think a lot about what God wants me to be when I grow up. Every day, I learn more and more about what’s possible.”

“Every day at school, I get to discover the gifts God has given me, and I get to share them with my friends.”

“I know that I belong at my school, because everyone is so kind."

“My children grew this year in a way that was only possible with in-person learning. I couldn’t be happier with my Catholic school.”
