Congratulations to the JV 5/6 Boys team!

Congratulations to the JV 5/6 Boys team for their big championship win against Oak Knoll this Saturday! Way to go, Ravens!

 

In honor of this fantastic moment, Mrs. Underwood has announced that on Wednesday March 19th, the JV boys team can wear their uniforms to school and that the entire student body can dress in spirit wear.

 

We are so proud of the JV Boys team - they worked hard all season, played their best, had an undefeated season and earned the No. 1 spot. We also want to congratulate the dedicated coaches: Peter Uzzolino, Chris Angevine, Tony Badim and Joe Giannetti.

 

Thank you for such a fun-to-watch and successful season! A big shout-out to the SRLA community who came to the game and cheered them on this weekend. We had a full crowd of supporters! 

 

Go, Ravens! It's a moment to celebrate!

Way Walkers

Holy Door

Dear Parents, 

As a school family, we celebrated with a special homage to the Holy Door during this Jubilee Year. 

Pope Francis reminds us that: "May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth."

Together, as a community of Catholic schools, we continue to share that grace, guiding our students to live out our mission with faith, joy, and love.

Sincerely, 

Principal Tina Underwood

This “holy year door” is a dominant image in the Church’s tradition, signaling the celebration of a holy year. The Lord

Jesus is the door of our salvation, a fact which is symbolized through the spiritual practice of passing through designated doors of various churches. This year of Jubilee 2025, Pilgrims of Hope began with the Pope Francis opening of the holy door at St. Peter’s Basilica on December 24th. There are holy doors at all the major basilicas in Rome. Pilgrims will come from all over the world to pass through these doors to receive special grace to walk this journey of life in holiness.

The upper grade students of St. Rose Academy designed a Holy Door for the parish. Each panel of the door is a sketch depicting key feasts of the liturgical year. Since the majority of parishioners will never experience The Holy Door in person, the Academy students created a Holy Door for all to walk through, especially our children and young families. The Holy Door will bring to life a year of liturgical events, beginning with the Nativity of the Lord and moving through the liturgical year.
