Dear Catholic School Parents and Guardians,
The decision has been made that all Catholic school sites in the Diocese of Fresno will remain closed for the remainder of the current school year.  Distant learning will continue in all 21 schools until the last instructional day in May.  I realize that our seniors and 8th graders are deeply disappointed that the traditional graduation ceremonies and privileges will not be occurring this spring.  However, each school is eager to plan a celebration, hopefully in early summer, that will honor the accomplishments of these talented graduates.
During this expended period of social distancing, it is my hope that your family is being spiritually fed by participating in Masses offered virtually by the Pastors and the many wonderful religion and theology lessons offered by our teachers.  Times of challenge and struggle are often the clearest reminders that God is with us and that we will not be abandoned.  We are frightened now but the promise of the Resurrection assures us that we will rise again.
Let us continue to pray for all who are ill and for the brave and faithful essential workers who serve selflessly every day.
May God bless your families,
Mona E. Faulkner

Dear Parents, 
This is a letter from our Superintendent for the Diocese of Fresno. Please read and share with your child.  We will continue to work each week until the end of school.  Have faith that our learning journey will continue and I will do whatever I can to prepare your child for the 4th grade.  Continue to have prayer and to keep Our Lord close to your heart.

Sincerely, Mrs. Bliss

Dear God,

We want to Thank You for the resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We want to celebrate Him every day of our lives. In a world that grows increasingly dark, help us hold up His light. Let us give hope and Faith to those in need and all of those who are working for a cure with the virus.  We pray for those who are on the front lines and for those who are ill.  Give us the courage to speak as boldly as Mary Magdalene did, and never be ashamed of proclaiming Your Good News.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
