All classes
* Religion - Our middle school students were able to see the new capillas (chapels) at our parish center last
Thursday during religion class. Many students enjoyed the peacefulness and prayerful atmosphere of the
plaza. If you have a few extra minutes, it would be great to visit these capillas with your family. Because we
will learn about each capilla in class, you can discuss the history behind them before you visit.
