On the last day of school, doors will open at 8:45 a.m. and we will have Mass at 9:00 a.m. with Fr. Ryan. Parents, grandparents, and siblings are invited to join us for Mass and our traditional year-end picnic from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The picnic will be BYOE (bring your own everything). However, we would love to grill for everyone if we can get a team of parents to help out with organizing, shopping, grilling, and cleanup. Email volunteers@cathf.com if you’d like to help out with that.
We will have some fun games to play, along with opportunities for students to challenge their teachers!
Concessions at Lunch Next Week
Starting on Tuesday, we will have a concessions stand at lunch! Chips, candy, chocolate, granola bars, and more will be available. Sales will be cash only so come prepared if you’d like to buy something.
