When people hear the word "Catholic", the first thing that pops into their minds is a

church building. Others think of important moral issues on which the Church takes a

firm and generally unpopular position. For many, both Catholics and Non-Catholics

alike, the Catholic Church is seen as primarily an institution. The reality of the Church is far deeper and more intriguing. Come join us for the fall 2026 adult education series,

"What We Believe." We will outline who we are as Catholics, what we believe, and

how we live. This course will run for 8 consecutive weeks, with two weekly sessions available. There will be a Wednesday morning session, from 10 am to 11:30 am, beginning on Wednesday, September 16, and ending on Wednesday, November 4.

The Tuesday evening session, from 6-7:30pm, will begin on Tuesday, September 22, and ending on Tuesday, November 10. For the Tuesday night sessions only, you will

need to preregister by contacting the parish office. Come and join us for a journey into the heart of God in the company of a family that Jesus Christ called the Church.

It’s hard to believe that we’re only two weeks away from the start of a new school year! Our teachers report later this week to begin our  in-service, which will include celebrating Mass together, reviewing emergency preparedness (including CPR and First Aid), a faith formation opportunity with Fr. Kuchinski, participating in a staff service project, and setting out our learning goals for the new year. We’re very excited to welcome our new families in PreK and other new families with children who are transferring into the older grades.

Our 1st-6th grade students will have their first day of school on Wednesday, Aug. 19, followed by PreK and Kindergarten students the next day. Please pray for our children, our families, and our faculty/staff as we begin the 2026-2027 academic year
