"Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit" and so they were. Wednesday evening, our 8th grade students celebrated a beautiful Confirmation Mass with Bishop Iffert. All that we are and strive to be as a community is reflected in these ceremonies where students continue in their own faith journeys. In the words of St. John Paul II, "Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure." Please join us in praying for our students that their lives will indeed reflect the momentous decisions they confirmed a few nights ago. Our First Communion Mass is Sunday, May 5th and I ask that you also pray for all the 2nd graders preparing for this special sacrament of initiation as well. Congratulations to our newly confirmed 8th grade students. May they never wander far from the Amazing love of God.

Our Walk-a-thon will be held on Friday, May 3rd! We are going to have a PIE PARTY for all who participate! Read the attached flyer to find out more!!  This is the only fundraiser that we do all year where ALL of the money goes directly to our school!  We are hoping that all families can donate at least $100!  Checks should be made out to St. Catherine of Siena.

​

Below you will find the link to the flyer to collect pledges and learn about the prizes!!  Who wants to throw a pie at Mr. Jacks??

It's that time of year again where we celebrate our Colts athletes and scholars with a video slideshow! Plans are underway for our end of year Boosters Awards Night. Please gather those pictures from this past school year and email them to coltsboosters@gmail.com. We want to use anything from booster-sponsored activities like basketball, soccer, volleyball, golf, cross country, academic teams, etc. The kids all love seeing themselves in the slideshow!

We do have a BIG ask. Please go through your pictures and only send us the GREAT pictures. A great picture is clear and focused; zoomed in to see faces and high enough resolution to look good when projected on a wall. High resolution pictures tend to be larger in size, so feel free to send multiple emails to get them all to us.

Please have these pictures to us by May 10th!

We will be taking nominations through April 21st.  You can nominate someone online at our St. Catherine website, by emailing the parish office or by filling out a nomination card and dropping it in the box in the back of church. A description of each council can be found on the nomination page by clicking the button below! There is no limit on nominations.  Nominees will be contacted by Parish Council and asked to discern for themselves if they are willing or able to serve.  Council terms begin in July.

1) Go to this site: https://plicbooks.com/go/225UPV  (this is specific to our yearbook)

2) Choose one of the preset categories in the drop down menu (ex: sports).

3) Choose "upload your files'' (for PC, phone, tablet storage) or Google Drive or Instagram.

3) Choose your photos and click "start upload."
