7th & 8th Grade Happenings

Throughout the week, 8th grade students had the opportunity to meet with representatives from several high schools to help them prepare for the next step in their educational careers. High schools including Morris Catholic, Union Catholic, Saint Peter’s Prep, Oak Knoll, Saint Elizabeth, Oratory Prep, Seton Hall Prep, and more came to discuss not only their academic programs, but also extracurricular activities such as sports and clubs that they offer. Eighth graders, along with their parents, are intently gathering information to help decide what high schools they would like to apply to. We wish them luck and success in this process!

On Thursday, 7th and 8th graders assembled in the church's outdoor Gathering Space and were treated to a wonderful gospel retreat! Students collaborated through prayer and discussion of this week's gospel to help deepen their faith. Fellowship and fun was had by all! We look forward to our next gathering!
