We
all desire a quality Catholic education for our children.
This program aims to provide that quality Catholic education
for those students who attend public school. We have many
opportunities for learning, sharing, growing, and building
community. Check out the many things we have to offer!

4th Week
in Ordinary Time
Justice Challenge:
On February 4th we celebrate the birthday of Rosa Parks, a
woman of courage (and in her words, a tired woman) who chose to take a
stand against segregation by refusing to move to the back of the bus.
Rosa Parks is a stellar example of wisdom which can only come with age
and experience. There is a tradition in the African American community
of honoring the oldest person present at prayer or worship by inviting
that elder to sit in a place of honor. The presider or lector then asks
their permission to lead the community in prayer or to proclaim the
Word. Your challenge this week is to honor an elder in your life—a
grandparent, a senior citizen who lives next door or a “Rose Parks” type
of person in the parish or community. Invite this person to share some
wisdom with your family through storytelling or simple conversation. Let
the person’s 70 or 80 or 90 years of faithful living give your family
insights into what God calls all of us to do. Then go out and do it!
All ages are invited to attend!
