Rochester Catholic Schools

Our schools provide academic programs that focus on developing the whole child. In addition to daily instruction in core content areas, our schools offer specials in art, music, physical education, library, and technology.

The Buddy Program at SMS pairs up an older grade with a younger grade to mentor, inspire, and share fun experiences together. Today our 7/8 and Kindergarten buddies gathered together to read stories and play games. A great time was had by everyone!

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany a day dedicated to remembering when the Magi visited the infant Jesus. They were foreigners who recognized the importance of Jesus, and traveled into an unknown land to recognize the new King. May your Epiphany be a time to see Jesus in those around you and where you least expect!
