The theme for the ‘24-’25 school year is "Be Greater!"
Jesus calls us to grow in holiness, and we can achieve this by striving to be a little better each day, challenging ourselves to be greater in all areas of our lives. If we do, we can change lives!
As St John Paul II said, “It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives.”
