Our annual Field Day is such a great way to end the year! From line dancing to relays races, our classes all participated. Then, we all enjoyed a BBQ lunch! We had a blast! Thank you to all who planned and made this happen. Here comes summer vacation!!

Congratulations to the St. Didacus Class of 2026! Prayers for a safe summer and successful start of your high school career! Thank you to Father Andrew and Deacon Marco for leading our graduation Mass on Friday evening. It was a beautiful celebration!

This week, preschool made Helix the trash man a card and got him some yummy treats. We also took pictures with him! He always stops his truck so we can line up along the fence and watch him!!

Graduation activities began today!!
We started our morning with a very special assembly: each class presented our Class of 2026 with a special gift! We prayed, we sang and we honored this special class!

There will be a Memorial Mass for Father Bob at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Coronado on Thursday, June 11th, 2026 at 11 am.

We'd like to thank Tom Davis from the St.
Didacus Knights of Columbus for joining us at morning assembly to present our essay contest winners!
There was also recognition for the winners of the free throw challenge and soccer goals. Congratulations to the students who were recognized.
We always celebrate the connection between our school and parish!!

We are sorry to have to announce that Monsignor Robert Ecker (Father Bob), passed away yesterday. He was born on March 2, 1927, was ordained to the Priesthood on June 9, 1951, and died Wednesday, June 3, 2026.
For many years, Father Bob was a “supply" priest at St. Didacus. He was truly a vital part of the parish and the school, a beloved friend and confidant of many people. He attended our Altar Society meetings well into his 90s, and celebrated many school and parish Masses, as well as Confirmations and graduations with us as a school.
His laughter, wisdom, and kind acts will be greatly missed.
We will post funeral arrangements once they are made.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

Today our preschool had pajama and movie day! We enjoyed the movie Toy Story and had some amazing looking snacks! Who would not love to be back in preschool!?

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all the children and families who joined us in the Kensington Memorial Day parade! We had a great showing, and it was wonderful to see so many people. We thank God for all who sacrificed their yesterdays so we can live our tomorrows in freedom.
