In honor of Catholic Schools Week, the Loyola community celebrated with an All School Mass at St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Mankato. Over
the past few weeks, Loyola students recorded their acts of kindness on paper chains that were presented and displayed at Mass. At the
end of Mass, we honored our longest standing Loyola employees: Chris Biehn, Tom Jensen, Pat Marzinske, Linda Ruehle and Patti Stierlen.
Their combined commitment to Loyola Catholic
School totals 178 years!

in history. We had them find information about other famous people besides George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Then the students dressed as this famous person. We then had a “live”
museum (Seen below). Students in grades 4-6 became their famous
person and told visitors about themselves. The younger grades made
posters or dioramas about their famous person. Right: Alex

St. Theodore students enjoyed a fun and faith filled week for Catholic School's Week 2015. The week began by having our student's participate
in the weekend Masses at St. Theodore. After the Masses, there was an "Open House". On Monday, the students began their week decorating white t-shirts with faith symbols, sayings, and verses that held meanings for them. On Tuesday, we share in a movie called “Joseph, The King of Dreams”. On Wednesday, the students dressed in their best clothes and
enjoyed going to our weekly Mass. Thursday they wore camouflage because we hunted for Christ. The week concluded with the students wearing the t-shirts they designed and decorated on Monday. Even
though Catholic School’s Week 2015 has come to an end. The students have shared many great times and created new memories that will live on as we continue on our faith journey at St. Theodore Catholic School.
