The past week at the Diocese of Rockville Centre Catholic schools was filled with spiritual growth, athletic triumphs, musical moments, faith-filled feast days, and powerful academic lessons. The DRVC students and families bonded over the feasts of St. Francis and Our Lady of the Rosary, which served as a powerful reminder of 2 of our Faith’s greatest saints. Students enjoyed hands-on lessons in engineering and science that required great teamwork and cooperation. The students of the Diocese of Rockville Centre also lifted their voices to the Lord with beautiful Marian hymns during Mass and practice for an upcoming Christmas concert. It was another wonderful week at our Catholic schools, and we look forward to all of the joys and lessons that the upcoming weeks hold with so many important feast days and holidays right around the corner!
