May is National Water Safety Month, and Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Corpus Christi are celebrating water safety education for Pre-K students. Mrs. Priscilla Schneider gave Water Safety Lessons to her PreK3 class at St. Elizabeth Catholic School in Alice on May 18.

Principal Kathy Barnes and Father Ray Yrlas took turns on the excavator knocking down the old Sacred Heart School buildings that Hurricane Harvey destroyed. 

Instead of doing typical Spring Break teenager activities like hanging out at the beach with friends or playing video games all day, some students from Incarnate Word Academy (IWA) preferred to be of service to others during a five-day mission trip to Fort Worth.

On Holy Thursday, students at St. John Paul II High School spent their half-day rotating through seven stations reflecting on the seven Last words of Christ. Mr. Benjamin Nye, chair of the Theology Department, organized the day of reflection and six additional teachers, including Mr. Michael Edghill, the principal at St. John Paul II High School, prepared reflections based on one of the seven last words of Christ. 

Since Ash Wednesday, students and their families from Sacred Heart School (SHS) in Rockport have collected cans for the Lenten “40 Cans for 40 Days.”
