Visitation School Mission

Visitation Catholic School, a ministry of Visitation Parish, strives for academic excellence as it provides quality spiritual, moral and social development for young people in the community we serve. We cultivate and share knowledge, values and culture in a faith-based environment and with a spirit of mutual respect, responsibility and love.

Dear Visitation Families and Friends: Welcome to the annual auction, Midnight Masquerade, the largest fundraiser for Visitation Catholic School! We hope you enjoy a night of entertainment and camaraderie while celebrating the commitment of school and parish families to support the continued success of our children. This is a tremendous parish and school community, and we are gratified that you are a part of tonight’s celebration. Visitation School currently serves 527 students in kindergarten through eighth grades. In our 99th year of operation, we can proudly say that Vis is here to stay! This amazing commitment to the Catholic formation and exemplary academic preparation of the young people of Visitation Parish is only possible because of YOU. Thank you for being here tonight, for donating auction items, for planning this event, or for investing your resources in the school operation. Last year, the earnings from the auction subsidized the expansion of technology assets to support 21st Century learning for our children as well as significant investment in general school operations. Through your generosity year after year, we are able to ensure that our students have the academic foundation they require to succeed in elementary school, high school and beyond. This year’s Diocesan theme is We Are Family and as a family-based community, and in the words of Pope Francis, we “Care for Our Common Home.” In addition to supporting the annual operating expenses, the Fund-A-Need monies raised this year will make it possible for us to renew learning spaces with carpeting, refresh the restroom facilities, and implement up-to-date safety and security features. As responsible citizens, we will plan improvements to the school with a focus on good environmental stewardship as we invest in the future. Thank you very much for attending and participating fully and generously in tonight’s event. We can only succeed for the good of our students because of your support. On behalf of Monsignor Offutt, all the faculty and staff of Visitation School, the auction committee, and all the volunteers who make this endeavor possible, we are so very thankful for your support. Remember, We Are Family – We Take Care of our Home.

Enjoy the celebration!

Microblading is a form of semi-permanent makeup applied to the eyebrow using organic, vegan pigments. It creates fine, individual strokes that mimic the look of real hair for a result that is extremely natural looking.
