IC School News
We took a slightly different approach to Valentine's Day this year. "If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you." (Jn 15:10-12) Today our Middle School students donated all the food we gathered during Catholic Schools Week, a total of 222.9 lbs! We would like to thank everyone for their participation in this years annual Trivia Night! It was a great success and fun had by all! We would also like to thank our local sponsors and everyone who worked to bring it all together. We would like to also thank everyone who contributed to the parish second collection in support of our school. We appreciate all that you do for the success of our school.
