St. Viator Elementary School students made this week's Class Mass particularly special with a May Crowning ceremony.

We are celebrating our First Communicants, the St. Viator 2nd Grade students who received Holy Communion for the first time on Saturday. They took the next step in deepening their participation in the Church and their relationship with God. Ms. Murphy, the 2nd Grade Teacher, led her students through their preparation and accompanied them at the celebration. Dr. Rieger welcomed the congregation to start the Mass, and Father Benjamin and Father Michael co-celebrated the Sacrame

Congratulations to our 8th Grade Confirmands and their families! The students made their Confirmation with Bishop Bartosic, Father Benjamin, and Father Michael on Saturday. Our thanks to Ms. McCabe for guiding the students through their preparation, and to Dr. Rieger for her participation in the preparation, process, and celebration. We are proud of the students' commitment to their faith, and welcome them to full participation in the Catholic Church. Like the Disciples on th

We are changing the format today, as we are featuring our new Associate Pastor, Father Michael Owen. While he is an important part of our Parish and School, I don't think he technically falls under the "faculty" label.

The St. Viator 4th and 5th grade classrooms are partnered together, where each grade has a homeroom, but moves to the other classroom for specific subjects. Students learn how to navigate this new responsibility. Mrs. Iannelli (5th) and Ms. Hook (4th) lead our intermediate grade classrooms! This year, Ms. Hook is the 4th grade Homeroom teacher, and handles Math and Science for both grades. Mrs. Iannelli is the 5th grade teacher, and handles Reading, Writing, and Social Studie

This past Wednesday, St. Viator students joined Catholics across the world in receiving ashes and beginning Lent. Kindergarten through 8th grade students attended a prayer service with our Associate Paster, Father Michael. Later that morning, Father Michael visited the Preschool classrooms to give ashes, and explanation, to our youngest learners. Students have listened to the readings all week describing how to pray, fast, and give alms. We will keep the focus on these practi

We returned from the Thanksgiving Break ready to embrace the Advent season. St. Viator students, faculty, and staff are thinking about Jesus in our lives, and how we can prepare for his coming at Christmas. The school's Nativity Scene went up in our south foyer. Thank you to the faculty and parent who pulled out all of the decorations, then pulled out all the stops to make a beautiful Nativity. At our Morning Assembly, two of our 8th grade students assisted Dr. Rieger with ou
