Monday we kicked off the new school year with our Parish & School Staff Retreat at the Franciscan Life Process Center!

Inspired by St. Francis and his call to Gospel renewal, we reflected on our mission to help our students grow in faith, discipleship, and a love for Christ.

A special thank you to Sr. Christiana for leading our retreat and helping us begin the year renewed and ready to serve our students and families!

Summer is in full swing but that doesn't mean the halls of St. Paul are quiet! Our Jr. Cougars Summer Care is in Full Effect! ☀️ From creative projects and outdoor adventures to games, laughter, and new friendships, our students are making memories while continuing to learn and grow.

At St. Paul the Apostle, we believe every season is an opportunity to form the whole child, nurturing curiosity, building confidence, strengthening relationships, and reminding each child that they are deeply loved by God. We're grateful for another joyful summer together!
