As we begin the new year, St. Egbert Catholic School would like to introduce you to the Strengthening Our Play campaign. The project to restore and enhance our playing fields and playground areas is well underway. We have already installed a new playground structure, thanks to the Home School Association, and a new basketball court. Additionally, we received the fantastic news that the school was awarded a Big Rock grant of $53,000 for the Outdoor Science Center which plays a big part of the plan. For a complete description of the campaign and the projects, please see the link below. We've received numerous donations and the projects with naming opportunities are going like hotcakes. If you are interested in learning more on how you can help with a donation and/or a naming opportunity, please click this link. Strengthening Our Play Opportunities

Donations can be submitted in person, by mail or online at: Strengthening Our Play Online Donation link below. Thanks to all who have already donated! We are so excited about this project and future of our school!

Picture of the Plan

Due to the governor's latest advisory, we are returning to our previous practice regarding attendance at DAILY MASS. DAILY Masses will be limited to 10 people. If you want to reserve a space at a DAILY Mass, please call Cherie in the office and get your name on the list. SUNDAY MASSES are being handled the way we have handled them since we reopened in September: 1) Enter through the main door, 2) temperature check, 3) limited to the open pews. Livestream is still available at 11 AM in English (1 PM en Espanol) for those who do not feel comfortable being present.

We plan to provide livestream Masses for Holy Week from St. Egbert Chapel according to the following schedule:

Sundays at 11 AM in English

Domingo at 1 PM en Espanol

To access the livestream, logon to YouTube.com and in the Search bar, type St. Egbert Catholic Church. You should find it by scrolling down and it will be the first or second piece on the list.
