It is so easy to get involved in the activities because the kids are so excited about them anyway and that way you are helping the school and spending time with your kids. There is also the bonus of meeting new people and making strong friendships that last beyond grade school! Read less

The school really is a small town in a big city. The parents are always saying how lucky that we are in this place at this time. Organzations allow parents and the parish to have a real impact on the quality the education provided. Commuincation between parents, faculity and the Pastor is good considering the size of the parish. Problems are readily addressed as a result. Read less

We took a tour of this school this past winter, as we are in the parish and were excited to start our child's catholic education. We were so disappointed! The building is a wreck.

I was disappointed that the principal let go a well loved and experienced teacher. We need to treasure teachers like him, not tell him to move on. So Kudos to the teachers and not as good on the administrators. Read less
