Thank you to the Knights of Columbus who joined us in dedication with the help of 4 of our student squires, 2 who were officially installed as Columbian Squires, which is part of the Knights of Columbus, in a special ceremony aboard the USS Milwaukee last weekend. We congratulate Louis, Harrison, Joseph and Christopher who look forward to serving in the community and helping others. Special thanks to the SFA Choir who sang a beautiful rendition of “God Bless America”, to Elizabeth Zotto, from the SFACA Class of 2014 who sang the National Anthem, Gabriella C for leading the Pledge of Allegiance, Maria D for recounting the history of our flag, and to Monsignor Ralph J. Maresca for reciting the opening prayer. And last but not least, we thank those who dedicated a flag in honor of a loved one. These flags will fly on the fence in front of the school until July 4th.

Dear SFACA Families:
It is really unbelievable that this will be our last calendar for this academic school year. As we are fast approaching the end of this academic school year, we are fully aware of the many blessings that this school year has brought us. We thank all the wonderful teachers and staff for the knowledge that was taught to us and the wisdom in and out of the classroom. The students are blessed to have flourished not only in their academic subjects, but also in their personal and spiritual growth. Continue reading “June 2022 News & Calendar”
The SFACA Walkathon Returns after a 2 year hiatus!
We are back!
Each year, our community comes together to support the efforts of Catholic education at St. Francis and helps to raise funds for school-wide enhancements. Our 2022 Walkathon is scheduled for Friday, May 27, 2022.
In past years, it has been our privilege to donate a portion of the Walkathon proceeds to a special cause. This year, however, we have decided to use the donations to help purchase NEW DESKS. Most of the desks in school are decades old and have seen better days. New desks will improve our classroom environments and make it a more positive place for our students
Each student has a goal of $50 which will earn them some much sought after dress down NUT & PEP cards as well as getting to dress down the ENTIRE last week of school.
If you are a student and in need of a form, click below….
