GRACE staff met last week for a retreat. They began with Mass hosted by St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish, followed by a talk on the Eucharist with Mother Mary Catherine of the Divine Word, M. W., and then they took some time in breakout sessions to work and reflect. The morning ended with Eucharistic Adoration and an opportunity for confession.

Thank you to Rev. Jim Lucas, Mother Mary Catherine, Jenny Johns, Katie Westhoven, Deacon Dan Gray, Rev. Mike Brennan, O. Praem, Rev. Adam Bradley, Gary Guevara, Monica Daos, and Tomerot Lambert for your contributions to our meaningful morning together.

Today, we’d like to spotlight an outstanding educator from St. Bernard Catholic School.

Mrs. Alvarez is the new librarian at SBS where her two daughters proudly attend. She believes that her job is not just about books; it’s about igniting a passion for reading in young minds. Reading is the secret gateway to learning, imagination, and endless adventures. When she isn’t at school, her life revolves around her family.

You’ll often catch her racing around to keep up with her daughters’ adventures and nephews’ soccer games. She is also a catchiest at St. Philip’s, helping first-year students prepare for their confirmation. Whether Mrs. Alvarez is at home with her family, on the field, in the library, or nurturing young minds in faith…she believes that her life is one big, fun, and incredibly meaningful adventure!

Today we’d like to highlight an outstanding student in the GRACE community, this time from Notre Dame of De Pere Catholic School!

Joel is truly the nicest student you will ever meet. He greets everyone with a warm smile and goes out of his way to help our younger students. When Joel attended our aftercare program, he would make sure the youngest students were included in the bigger kids’ games of basketball and that everyone was fun and safe while doing so.
