✝️3rd graders led Mass beautifully this morning as scripture and Fr. Dan reminded us to keep holy the Sabbath. ✝️

✝️Fr. Dan and Fr. Tom held Lenten confessions today for 4th-6th graders.✝️ Afterwards, a 5th grader jokingly asked Fr. Tom if he lived in the middle confessional; to which Fr. Tom curled up in a ball and showed them where he slept!😂 Our students just adore our priests!

This morning at Mass, we celebrated the Sacrament of Baptism with Chase (grade 2); surrounded by his family, classmates, and our school community. Through Baptism, Chase is now a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, and we officially welcome him into the Catholic Church. We are so excited that he will soon celebrate his First Holy Communion with his class. Welcome, Chase! God is good. We are SDJCA.

For the third consecutive year, as we 'Celebrated Our Community' during Catholic Schools Week, we held another COIN WAR fundraiser from ELC through 8th grade. In true SDJCA fashion, we certainly showed our giving (and competitive) spirits, raising $2,334.52! Today, we presented a check to The Silver Cross Foundation , benefitting The Amy, Matthew & Jay Vana Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Our March Students of the Month from the Coin War winning classes participated in the check presentation: Sadie (3rd), Alicia, Eloise and Rebecca (8th). We are so proud of our school community efforts for such a great cause. Let's continue to do great things together. We are SDJCA.

🏀🏅The Tri-County Catholic Conference hosts an 8th Grade All-Conference Ceremony at the end of each season. This year, three of our players were honored: Chase K, George K, and Andrew U. They worked hard throughout the season and served as outstanding leaders for their team. Way to represent, boys! We are proud of you!🏅🏀

🕊️ 🔥SEALED WITH THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT🔥🕊️ Congratulations to our SDJCA 8th graders on their Sacrament of Confirmation! May their hearts be filled with love and always be guided by the Holy Spirit. Thank you to our students and faculty who served the Mass with Bishop Spies, Fr. Dan and Fr. Tom.
