What an exciting week it has been at Mater Dolorosa Catholic School! Our campus was filled with learning, family, and fellowship as we hosted our Family Literacy Night, welcomed our wonderful grandparents for a special Grandparents Day Celebration, and enjoyed the excitement of our Scholastic Book Fair. These events remind us that education is strongest when our school, families, parish, and community work together.

The excitement continues this Sunday as our MDCS Dad’s Club hosts its Spaghetti Lunch Fundraiser. Spaghetti dinners will be available for drive-through pickup at the school from 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. for a $14 donation. Proceeds will help purchase a new floor-cleaning machine so that we can properly care for our beautiful new gym floor and protect this important investment for years to come.

At Mater Dolorosa, Catholic education is about far more than academics. Each day, we strive to form students in Jesus Christ, instill strong leadership qualities, and promote academic growth and excellence. Whether our students are gathered in the classroom, celebrating Mass, serving others, or sharing special moments with their families, our mission remains at the heart of all we do.

We are grateful for the continued prayers and support of our parish and community. Together, we are forming young people who know their God-given purpose and are prepared to lead and serve.

Blessings,
Melissa Capadona
Principal, Mater Dolorosa Catholic School
