Catholic Schools Week: Celebrating Vocations
Students ended today with an all school assembly featuring Fr. Nick. During his presentation, Fr. Nick taught them about the different vocations, provided real-life examples, and finally explained what led him to the priesthood. Thank you, Fr. Nick, for helping us get to heaven!

Catholic Schools Week: Celebrating Our Community
Students took time today to show appreciation by writing thank you notes to those in our homes, school, parish, and Sioux Falls community who help make our school great. We also kicked off our service project, Coins for Kids. A note detailing how this helps literacy in our community and individual student collection canisters are being sent home in bags today. We are concluding our day with a SFO meeting and guest speaker, Rachel Mueller at 6:00pm in the school gym. All parents are invited to attend!

As we begin a new year at Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools, we’re focusing on patience—the virtue that helps us trust God’s timing, stay steady through challenges, and respond with calm hearts.
Patience teaches us to pause, breathe, and remember that every moment is an opportunity to grow in grace. Whether we’re waiting, learning, or working through something difficult, we can choose to approach it with faith and perseverance.
✨ “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.” – Psalm 37:7
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. ✨🙏
REMINDER...This Friday, December 19th, we will have an all school Christmas Spirit Dress Down Day. Students may dress in red & green and accessorize with Santa hats, festive necklaces, or any other "extra" that brings holiday joy!
