Dear Walla Walla Catholic School Families,
As another week of exciting Catholic education comes to a close, we thank God for the ability to offer in-person education to our students. We are also grateful to be able to offer remote instruction on a case-by-case basis to students who are in isolation or in quarantine. We appreciate the continued cooperation of our WWCS families in keeping our school community safe by observing our COVID-19 protocols and procedures.
Our COVID-19 webpage has been recently updated with our latest protocols and procedures. We invite you to please visit this page if you have any questions about what to do if your child is exhibiting symptoms or tests positive for COVID-19. You can access this webpage by visiting our website, or by clicking the button at the top of this Weekly News.
Volunteer with Rototiller
Needed at DeSales
There is a bare spot at DeSales where a playground structure was removed. We are in need of a volunteer with a rototiller who can till up the earth and prepare it for reseeding. If you are interested and able to help with this project, please contact the DeSales office and leave a message for Paul Castoldi.
Sausagefest 2021 Update
First weekend in October
Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the short survey from last week. We have determined based on those survey results that we will need to modify our annual Sausagefest event for 2021 due to COVID-19 protocols and the increased number of cases in our area.
The final event details are being finalized and are not quite ready to share at this time. However, we will publish a separate announcement as soon as we have everything in place. If you have signed up as a volunteer, Natalie Auth will be contacting you with options to volunteer at this modified event.
We look forward to offering as much as possible from the standard Sausagefest experience to our community, and we greatly appreciate our sponsors who continue to provide generously to this event!

WWCS Scrip at Both Schools
Scrip is now available at Assumption School in the mornings only, 7:30 to 11:00 AM. Because we now have two inventories, that means we have less at each school. So, please call several days ahead if you would like to purchase more than 4 of the main cards (Amazon, Safeway, Super 1, or Walmart) or more than 2 of any other card. This will allow us time to move cards between schools, or order more if necessary.
Online purchases can make scrip purchases MUCH easier, see the school offices for details. Does someone else want to purchase in your name? Fabulous! Just ask them to put your name on the form on the appropriate line.
Cantate Domino
This choir sings on the second Sunday of the month at 9:30 Mass at St. Patrick's, beginning October 10, 2021. Children from all parishes welcome! Children need to be able to read but do not need to be able to read music. If you are interested, click here to learn more!
For information about this choir, contact Jo Anna Gogl.
WWCS Holy Hour
Wednesdays at 4:00 PM - St. Patrick Church
The WWCS Wednesday Holy Hour is held every Wednesday at 4:00 PM, at St. Patrick Church. Though this is a Walla Walla Catholic Schools event, it is also open to the community and we hope that you will join us in prayer!
