Saint Wenceslaus Catholic School Weekly Office Update

Auction News: Wow! We are so incredibly grateful to EVERYONE who helped in any way with the success of our 22nd annual Starry Night! We are feeling incredibly blessed. There are so many people to thank – including: planning committee, donors, volunteers, Ridges staff, bidders, attendees, auctioneers, speakers & emcee. For those who kept us in your prayers as we prepared for this – THANK YOU!

The huge success of this major school fundraiser couldn’t have happened without all of you! We are so very grateful. Our mission of guiding students to develop a relationship with Jesus is at the core of what we do, and it couldn’t be done without the support of all of you.

Ignatius Book Fair – Friday April 4th through Wednesday April 9 promises to be both enjoyable and enriching for our students (and parishioners)! 

  • Students shop during their library times on Friday, Monday, and Wednesday
  • And the community can shop after masses on Sunday April, 6th from 9:30-Noon!

The Ignatius Book Fair will offer an incredible selection of Catholic and secular works that inspire, educate, and allow our students to explore the complementary nature of faith and literature. 

Our school receives rewards for every book purchased during and after the fair. Continue shopping all year long on the Ignatius Book Fair website to help us earn free books for our school. Each purchase from the Ignatius Book Fair benefits our school, allowing us to enhance our library resources and reading programs. 

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school activities. We look forward to seeing you at the Ignatius Book Fair and sharing the joy of reading with our students!
