Help us to see the meaning your words

A Message from the Principal

This Sunday Catholic Schools across the nation kick-off Catholic Schools Week. We begin this celebration with Mass on Sunday at 9:00 a.m., followed by our Open House from 10:00 a.m. to noon.. This is an opportunity for family and friends to visit the classrooms and Art Exhibit. Open House is a time that new families will also be exploring our school, Parents and students will be leading prospective families on tours around the campus. If you know of any families in search of a school, encourage them to attend our Open House and have them see if a Catholic Education at Incarnation is the choice for them!

Blessings,

Diana Girskis

Principal
