If so, please consider submitting a tax-deductible donation for Aurora Central Catholic High School’s 26th Annual Super Saturday Night fundraiser, May 5-7, 2022 (Cinco de Mayo "Sip & See" Cocktail Reception) The hybrid fundraiser will help support student programs, maintain low tuition costs and advance the school’s new Strength & Fitness Center.

ALUMNA UPDATE: Carla Carmon, ('21) just received her team assignment for NET Ministries!!! NET challenges young Catholics to love Christ and embrace the life of the Church. Every August, 175 young Catholics aged 18-28 leave behind their jobs, school, family, and friends to devote nine months to serving with the National Evangelization Teams (NET).

Divided into 16 teams, they travel across the U.S. for nine months to share the Gospel with young people and their families. Since 1981, NET teams have led over 34,000 retreats and ministered to more than 2.1 million young Catholics.

Congratulations, Carla!!! We are so excited for your new journey!

💙HOMECOMING 2021💛
