Mexico Pilgrimage
Our seniors are in Mexico! They left bright and early this morning for their pilgrimage.
Please pray for a holy pilgrimage for our students, faculty, and chaperones. They will be visiting many holy and historical sites, including the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. When they are there, they will be praying for the intentions of our community, as well as their own. If you have any intentions that you would like our seniors to bring to Our Lady, please include them here. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!
The Gala Results
Thank you to all families who helped out in so many different ways during this gala season.
Our student speakers gave inspiring, heartfelt, and humorous speeches. Our emcees kept us entertained and laughing. We loved watching the students dance, and their singing was beautiful! And we are so grateful to our auction committee for bringing together so many enticing auction baskets.
The gala is our only fundraising event of the year, and it is necessary to making sure that we can provide a Chesterton education and form the next generation of Catholic leaders.
We are happy to report that we were blessed by the generosity of hundreds of benefactors who helped us exceed our goal of $360,000 and raise $470,000!
CATHF is growing and thriving because of your efforts. Thank you for your financial contributions, for helping us to promote our auction and raffle, and for telling your friends and family about the event!
Spring Break
We hope everyone has a wonderful spring break! Please note that the school office will be closed during the break.
