Generous.” Students in a Jesuit school are growing to be
Grateful for their own gifts, for the gift of other people, and
for the blessings of each day; and generous with their gifts,
becoming men and women for others.

As parents, we know that once you pick up the kids from school
it’s a mad sprint of activities, homework, after school snacks,
dinner and bedtime. Before you engage in the sprint, you can
prepare yourself with a little quiet time. And we have a great
place prepared for you inside the Church. The Church is open for
school families from 2 -3 p.m.
