We have Toolbox Tuesday at 11:00am for study skills, and Open Spaces at 2:00pm, where teens can meet for fun, games and friendship, or homework help. High school Prayer meets every Thursday at 2:00pm. Then at the end of the year our High school prayer group meets in person for a 4-day get-together, including setting up for graduation. The graduation is open to any grade 12 student completing school with us and includes an in-person mass, dinner, ceremony, and dance. We have had yearly trips to Europe to visit Italy (Rome), France, Spain and Greece, with more trips planned for the upcoming years. This is an immersive opportunity that delves into our Catholic Faith with parents, teachers and students.
