School Announcements
Mary, Star of the Sea

Our Lady, Star of the Sea is a title translated from Latin: Stella Maris.  It hails Mary's role as a sign of hope and as a guiding star.  The Virgin Mary intercedes as a guide to be followed on the way to Christ, "lest we capsize amid the storm-tossed waves of the sea." 
Unity Board Survey
Please complete the online survey to let your voice be heard:  www.surveymonkey.com/s/HCSUnity

In an effort to continue to engage our Catholic community, the Unity Board has approved a new online survey developed by the Research Committee of the Unity Board, chaired by Eve Rosno, PhD.  We want to hear from you!  Many changes have taken place at Hastings Catholic Schools and we hope to continue moving forward with your help. Help us spread the word by sharing the link with others.  Thank you to Eve and her committee for the fine work done in preparing this survey.
