What's your favorite Pete the Cat book?
Preschoolers loved reading Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin because Pete makes counting fun!
Pete the Cat is wearing his favorite shirt—the one with the four totally groovy buttons. But when one falls off, does Pete cry? Goodness, no! He continues singing his song—what could be groovier than three groovy buttons?
This book is a winner of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Award. Plus, the fun never stops—download the free groovin’ song! ... See MoreSee Less

In this week’s Cornerstone, Fr. David shares a thoughtful reflection inspired by author Daphne Mould’s mountaineering metaphor for the spiritual life. Just as climbers must leave the comforts of the valley and trust a compass over their senses, so must we rely on faith and reason to guide us in our Lenten journey. It’s a compelling invitation to reflect on how we navigate prayer, discernment, and trust in God when uncertain.
As we pause on this Laetare Sunday—a moment of joy and hope midway through Lent—may Fr. David’s words inspire us to keep climbing toward the Cross, with the Holy Spirit as our guide.—https://conta.cc/41PvajY ... See MoreSee Less

Our school community gathered for a beautiful Lenten Mass led by 5th-grade students on Friday, March 21.
Their thoughtful participation and reverent leadership helped guide us deeper into our Lenten journey during this second week of the season.
From the readings to the prayers, the students helped us reflect on God’s mercy and the call to grow closer to Christ through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
We invite our school families and parish community to join us for Mass every Friday during Lent at 9:00 AM in the Church. Each week, a different class leads Mass, giving students a meaningful opportunity to grow in faith and service. Celebrating Mass together strengthens our bond as a community and reminds us of the grace and renewal this sacred season brings. We hope to see you there! ... See MoreSee Less
