St. Charles at the Cathedral: Students in 5K-8th Grade traveled to the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist last Friday to culminate our celebration of Catholic Schools Week! Bishop Haines was impressed with how well the students prayed, sang, and paid attention to his tour of the Cathedral after Mass. Youth Choir and Schola led the beautiful music, and our 8th Grade leaders did a wonderful job reading the Scriptures, proclaiming the psalm, and leading the intercessory prayer. The 8th Graders got a special tour of the crypt where all of the bishops are laid to rest, conducted by Bishop Haines himself!

Catholic Social Teaching Theme: Our Catholic social teaching theme for the month of February is Option for the Poor and Vulnerable. We ask for the intercession of Saint Teresa of Calcutta that we might never fail to recognize and encounter Jesus in what she called his "most distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor." Amen.
Schola Singers at Lake Country Playhouse: Four of our Schola members recently performed in a concert at Lake Country Playhouse. Catherine, Avery, Paige, and Calleigh did a wonderful job on their solos!
