PREPARING FOR JESUS One of the many blessings of a Catholic education is that our students are allowed the opportunity to celebrate the Advent and Christmas season.
During the month of December, students at Rochester Catholic Schools have celebrated the Advent season through prayer, Mass, music, and by providing service to others in our community.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK SYSTEM SERVICE PROJECT RCS Joins Efforts to Collect Pop Tabs for the Ronald McDonald House for Catholic Schools Week System Service Project Each year nearly 1,000 families travel to our community and stay at the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) while receiving treatment at Mayo Clinic. To kick-off our system-wide Catholic Schools Week service project, we too want to join in the efforts to support the Ronald McDonald House. Rochester Catholic Schools will be collecting the tabs you pull to open soda, soup or other aluminum cans. The funds generated from recycling these aluminum pieces will help offset the House's expenses as they work to expand. This is one of two service projects RCS students will be participating in during Catholic Schools Week 2018! Please click the button below to watch a video and learn how Rochester Catholic Schools is teaming up with a RMH family to give back to our community!
