We have a lot to be thankful for at Central Catholic!

As we approach Thanksgiving, we are excited to celebrate our blessings in a variety of ways: giving back to our neighbors, coming together as a school family, and celebrating our many traditions.

A Thanksgiving Blessing

Dear Central Catholic Family,
Everything God has created is good, and everyone He brings into our lives is a treasure.
We want you to know that sharing life’s blessings with you makes the world more beautiful and the heart more grateful.

At this time of Thanksgiving our thoughts turn gratefully to you with warm appreciation.
