Wishing our entire Blanchet community a joyous and blessed Easter! He is Risen, Alleluia!

We’re excited to share that we’ve finalized funding for the construction of a brand-new Multipurpose Center — a flexible, dynamic space that will feel much like our auxiliary gym. The plan is to build a new facility on the site of our current portable locker rooms. The great news is that we already have $2.5 million in funding secured to build the structure! While the building itself is funded, we now need to outfit the space. We're raising funds to provide essential equipment and furnishings for the new facility including: basketball hoops & volleyball standards, scoreboards, scorer’s table & shooting machine, lunch tables, PE & athletic equipment, and more. You can help us reach our goal by making a donation!

Thank you Father Jay for coming to celebrate Ash Wednesday Mass for us today. Today marks the beginning of Lent. Students received ashes at Mass, which is a sign of entrance into this penitential season where we learn to pray more, give with charity, and fast from worldly distractions that take us away from Christ. Wishing our entire Blanchet community a blessed Lenten season.
