Inspired by Roald Dahl’s beloved tale, this lively production is a treat for all ages!

All families are welcome to attend this free performance. Donations will gladly be accepted to support the music program.


Vocation Talk with Fr. Nathan

On Thursday, Sparks in grades K-5 meet with Fr. Nathan to learn about vocations. Father explained that a vocation is how God calls us to live our lives, wheather through married life, single life, or religious life. He encouraged our Sparks to remember that God is calling each of us to something unique, and that we can discover this by asking Him in prayer, listening carefully, and responding with openness. Fr. Nathan emphasized the importance of talking to God regularly and being open to whatever He has planned for us! Thank you, Fr. Nathan!
