During Catholic Connections students put their faith into action by spending time serving right here on the SFA grounds. We are so grateful for their willingness to lend a hand, work together, and care for our school community.
Thank you for being such a wonderful example of what it means to serve others!

Our 6th graders took science outside for an Alka-Seltzer rocket experiment! They put chemical reactions, pressure, and plenty of predictions to the test—and had a blast watching the results take off!
Nothing beats a science lesson that comes with a countdown!

Our 4th graders performed St. Francis and the Wolf of Gubbio for the school, sharing a wonderful message of peace, kindness, and reconciliation.
Following the play, our Mini Vinnies led us in our Walk for the Poor, giving our students another opportunity to put the example of St. Francis into action through compassion and service.
A wonderful morning celebrating our patron saint, our faith, and the call to care for one another.
St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us!

Our 7th graders put their science skills to the test with a hands-on pendulum experiment! From making predictions to observing patterns and collecting data, they got to see science come to life—one swing at a time.

May we continue to follow his example by caring for one another, serving with love, and being channels of Christ’s peace in our school, our homes, and our community.
St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us.

Day 1 is in the books, and we had SO much fun!
Our campers are divided into animal groups, and everyone had a full day of adventure. The Gators survived their survival hike, the Chickens enjoyed water ecology and conquered the rock climbing wall, and the Hippos rocked it at archery and water ecology!
We also had plenty of time for fun games, hanging out with friends, and just enjoying being together. We even got to celebrate a birthday at camp! 🎂
And because it wouldn’t be camp without a little extra excitement… we had a slithering visitor make an appearance in one of the cabins! 🐍
Lots of laughs, lots of adventures, and plenty of memories already.
Bring on Day 2!
