Bulldogs, we’re back! 🐾✏️

This morning we began the year gathered where it matters most—around the altar at our all-school Mass. In his homily, Father John Paul reminded us of today’s Gospel and gave our students their number one job for the year ahead: to grow in holiness.

Every subject, every friendship, every challenge is a chance to become more like Christ. That’s the heart of a St. Gertrude education—forming scholars & saints. Here’s to the year ahead!

Ever wonder why Dominicans and the Rosary go hand in hand?
 Today we celebrate St. Dominic—the founder, the preacher, the torchbearer of truth.
 His legacy lives on within our school, in the rhythm of daily prayer, the pursuit of truth in every classroom, and a deep love for Our Lady that shapes all we do. St. Dominic, pray for us!

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel—the title under which Mary gave the scapular to St. Simon Stock in 1251.

🤍 It’s more than a devotion. It’s a sign of belonging. A quiet yes to Mary’s protection and her promise that “whosoever dies wearing this shall not suffer eternal fire.”

🤍 Did you know that every spring our second graders are enrolled in the brown scapular?
 🤍 It’s a simple habit that forms hearts for heaven!

✨ The word that came up again and again to describe Sister Mary Agnes? Joy. ✨

Steady, bright, unmistakable joy. Not the fleeting kind, but the kind rooted in Christ—
contagious, grounding, impossible to ignore.

As she closes this beautiful chapter as our vice principal,
we give thanks for her presence, her laughter, her care, and her witness.

You’ll always have a home in these halls and our hearts.

“Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.” — St. Teresa of Calcutta

They arrived as little ones with wide eyes and open hearts. Now, they walk forward—formed in truth, strengthened by grace, and loved beyond measure.

“What you are is God’s gift to you. What you become is your gift to God.” —St. Thérèse of Lisieux

To our 8th grade graduates: you will always belong here. Once a part of this family, always a part of it. We’re so proud of you—and we will never stop praying for you.

🚀BOOM. That was the sound of 4th grade launching science into the sky.

With the 4-H Rockets Away program, our students took STEM to new heights—literally.

It’s not a YouTube demo.
It’s 4th graders, launching handmade bottle rockets—and falling in love with science along the way.
