On Wednesday, May 8, 2019, Carmel Catholic High School will be offering parents an opportunity to see the school from the inside. Our Spring Open House will take place from 9am – 11:30am. Parents will start the morning with a Principal and Presi- dent coffee reception, then move on to a student panel presentation followed by a tour of the school.

For the second year in a row the children attending St.Bede School and Religious Education Programs banded together and collected food to help the needs of poor families in our area.

All the food collected, over Lent, was donated to St.Vincent De Paul and delivered after Easter. The winning classes in each Program will receive a pizza party in May. In 2018 during the 40 days of Lent we received 2,319 pounds of canned products. In 2019 we collected 2,437 lbs exceeding our goal of 2,000 lbs.

This year the 2nd grade in both programs won the contest – the second and third place students will receive a free breakfast sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.

I would like to thank all the children for your generous donations to this fundraiser.
