Milk Update
We thank you all for your patience as we worked through the issues we have been having with our milk. We have finally resolved the situation and have decided to use a new vendor, Royal Crest Dairy, for the remainder of the year. Those of you who ordered milk for your children this year, please know the price is not changing and milk will be delivered and distributed for lunch this Wednesday. We will still be providing the white and chocolate milk options. Again, thank you for your patience!

22-week study
Moms, grab some girlfriends and join the new Walking With Purpose women’s Bible study this year! Make authentic connections with other women, refuel and refresh while learning more about God and our faith. You don’t need any prior Scripture knowledge. This Bible study explores the fundamental questions of our Catholic faith and our relationship with Jesus Christ. Join us as we examine the core questions that we need to wrestle with if we want to experience all that God has for us, including:
- How do I get my priorities in order?
- I’ve been going through the motions in my spiritual life – how does it relate to my day-to-day life?
- How do I get to know Christ in a personal way?
Will you please join us? There won’t be any sessions held when the kids are out of school. Oh yeah. And there’s free childcare on the Wednesday morning sessions as well as brunch. And plenty of sweet and salty snacks on the Thursday evening sessions. You’re welcome.
