Please read the message from the Office of Catholic Schools to Parents on March 20th regarding school closure for the State of Illinois and Archdiocese of Chicago Schools.
Thank you for your continued support of our e-learning platform. Provided in this letter are our plans to offer Catholic education for students during this unique time in our world. Moving instruction out of the school building is a journey that we will navigate together throughout the coming days. We have prepared some general guidelines and recommendations for our e-learning/alternative learning formats.

Our goal is to raise $10,000* and here is how we think we can reach it! Imagine, if each school family purchased just 1 ticket the pot would be close to $1000.00. If every parishioner attending Sunday mass, (800-1000) bought 1 ticket the pot would $8000-$10,000. What if everyone sold 2 or more? The possibilities are endless!

2018/2019 school year is “Faith to Move Mountains.” As Christ tells us in the 17th Chapter of Matthew, God’s faith can help us to do great things. Even faith as small as a “mustard seed” can enable us to move mountains! As we look to the future of our schools with confidence, we know we have some mountains to move. Momentum is building in spite of all challenges, and our faith provides us with constant strength and comfort.
