- Classes Postponed

There will be NO CLASSES for confirmation or grades 6 on Sunday, January 9.There will also be NO CLASSES for students in grades 1-5 on Monday, January 10 or Tuesday January 11.

  Grades 1-5 will return on Monday January, 24 and Tuesday January 25
  
  Grades 6-9 will return on Sunday, January 23
