St. Katharine Drexel

Yesterday was magical in 2nd grade! Students received a golden ticket to ride the Polar Express, sipped on hot chocolate, nibbled on sweet treats, and each student opened a special gift from the big man himself...inside was shiny new bell. As the conductor says, "Merry Christmas!"

Attendance Matters: Serving Your Parish 💙🤲

When students are present, faith comes alive. Through regular attendance, our students learn that love is meant to be lived—by serving others and sharing the gifts God has given them.

From classrooms to parish life, we are forming hearts that understand faith isn’t just learned, it’s practiced. Thank you for partnering with us to help our students put love into action through service. ✨🙏

"By supporting teacher salary endowments, donors are making a direct investment in the education and faith formation of young people - a noble and lasting contribution.

🎁 December’s Virtue: Generosity 🎁
This month, our Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools community is focusing on generosity—the joyful willingness to give of ourselves for the good of others.

During this season of giving, our students are reminded that generosity isn’t just about gifts—it’s about sharing our time, our talents, our prayers, and our hearts. Whether it’s helping a classmate, serving our parish, or supporting someone in need, every act of generosity reflects Christ’s love.

✨ “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” – Acts 20:35

With Advent underway, the 6th graders completed the annual poinsettia project today with Mrs. Charron (24th year of doing this with students!). Each year, the flowers brighten our entryway as we prepare our hearts for the birth of baby Jesus!
