Bishop Garrigan Schools

Bishop Garrigan honored 71 students at our 47th Annual Academic Honors Banquet. The dinner and honor ceremony was held in Friedmann Auditorium on Tuesday evening, March 15th. Students with a 3.5 grade point average and above are recognized for this achievement.

Bishop Garrigan Drama Presents "Acting can be Murder" Friday March 18th and Saturday March 19th at 7pm in Friedmann Auditorium. Admission is $7 floor seats and $5 for bleachers. All BG students and staff are free!

Bishop Garrigan seniors Ava Eisenbarth and Marguerite Fakler have been named outstanding performers and were selected to perform at the 2022 All-State Speech Festival. To be selected for all-state, two different judges must list the competitors as one of the best performers at the state speech contest. Ava Eisenbarth was named to all-state for her literary program performance on skiing, while Marguerite Fakler was selected for her musical theatre performance “Forget About the Boy”.

There are more than 10,000 speech entries in Iowa each year. From those only 400 are selected to perform at all-state. The 2022 All-State Speech Festival will be held Monday, March 28 at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. Marguerite will perform at 11:30am that day, while Ava performs at 1:30pm.

Seems to be some confusion about Gala 2022.
To bid on gala items you must do the following:

Live Auction: In person only you must be attending gala to bid on the live auction.

Silent Auction: You must be attending gala or purchase a “Bid Only” ticket for $50. The auction will be online, but you have to have a bid number to have access. Bidding will not be open to the public.

Please help us spread the word. If anyone has questions please contact the development office, 395-3525, or email Alison Rosenmeyer at [email protected]

For the month of March, students at Seton have been learning about the virtue of mercy and St. John Vianney. Monsignor Ed visited with us today and helped us learn more about St. John Vianney and how he helped people receive the mercy of Jesus and be happy. Did you know there is a statue of St. John Vianney right here at St. Cecelia Parish? St. John Vianney, Patron Saint of Priests, Pray for us.

Eight of our 6th graders represented Bishop Garrigan well today at the North Central Iowa Honor Choir in Algona! It was a great day, filled with joyful music and talented hard working students!

The Third graders have been practicing the virtue of the month - Mercy - by praying and singing the Divine Mercy Chaplet each week. Third grade also dropped off their pen pal letters in the mailbox! Awesome job 3rd Grade. #bgpride
