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

The Mad Hatter's Masquerade Ball was an evening filled with food, dancing, silent auction excitement, and overall, fun! The 2026 St. Viator Blue & Gold Gala was a success! So many members of our community joined the festivities. And whether in evening gowns, or Wonderland-chic, everyone dressed to impress! Father Benjamin and Dr. Rieger kicked off the evening with a lovely prayer and welcoming. A good showing of parishioners, along with Father Michael, were also in attendance

Wishing Dr. Rieger a happy National School Principal's Day!

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

It's Showtime keeps the performing arts vibrant at St. Viator Elementary School. All students are eligible to participate in this musical revue

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. Father Michael Owen joined the SS Viator & Wenceslaus Parish July 1st of this past summer. As our Associate Pastor, “Father Mike” works with Father Benjamin handling the business between our two church sites and ministering to our school. We reached out to Fath

It's always great to have the Knights of Columbus on the St. Viator campus for the annual Spelling Bee! This year marked the 34th year that St. Viator students gathered on the second floor of the Rec Center to start their spelling bee bid. In addition to the members from the Brownson Council of the Knights of Columbus, our own Mr. Slawik reprised his role as the official word pronouncer. 15 students started the bee, 3 from each grade, 5th through 8th. The students did well, w

The St. Viator Boy's and Girl's Travel Basketball teams wrapped up the '25-'26 season. The end of the season brings about the send-off tradition organized by the St. Viator Athletic Association (SVAA). During the halftime break of the last home game, 8th grade players are called to center court. Their parents are invited to come down from the bleachers to join them. Students gift their parents flowers and exchange hugs and well-wishes. It's a great acknowledgement of the comm
