Parents are welcome to join us for an all-school Rosary in gratitude for the completion of this wonderful school year! This event replaces the previous Family Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe and allows us time on campus to pray together as a community. With this change, there will be no delayed start to school on Thursday; all students should arrive by 8:10 a.m. and they will be dismissed at their regular time. We hope you can join us!
