This week in Catechesis we learned the Parable of the Leaven and reflected on what it teaches us about the Kingdom of God. We welcomed the season of spring and we sent our Lenten collections of baby items to Catholic Charities. Thank you for all the contributions. In Art class we continued preparing for the Art Show and Parade happening on April 22nd.

This week we learned about St. Patrick and how he taught people the Holy Trinity. In Music we listened to a song written by St. Katharine Drexel and played a real xylophone. We heard the story of the found sheep in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and started preparing our box cars in Art for our parade happening April 22nd (more information coming soon).

Marquette is partnering with the School of St. Mary to bring in a fantastic national speaker named Katie Greer.
