A Message from the Principal

Thank you to all of our families for your generous support of the food drive for St. Columbkille.  The donations they received helped them fill Thanksgiving baskets for their school and parish families in need.

On behalf of the faculty and staff at Incarnation School, we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
