As we conclude Catholic Schools Week, we honor the traditions of our schools while celebrating the endless possibilities of our future! Our all-county mass yesterday was a sight to see - as hundreds of our students from every Catholic school in the county came together to enjoy the message of unity and service delivered by Bishop Malloy.

A special thank you to our hosting school, Sts. Peter and Paul in Cary! We extend our deepest gratitude to Principal Strong, Assistant Principal Edwards and their talented faculty for all the planning and preparation that made this wonderful event such a great success! To all deanery administration and faculty - we are extremely blessed for all that you do. Marian Central is a thriving, vibrant Catholic school community thanks to all your faith, care, and dedication with every one of your students.

As part of this year's celebration of Catholic Schools Week, MCCHS students and all our amazing deanery schools hosted a Winter Coat Drive! Thanks to the generosity and dedication of our deanery schools and Marian students, our clubs Catholics in Action, Friends of Rachel, and National Honor Society were able to collect hundreds of cold-weather items that are being sorted for delivery to St. Vincent de Paul in Huntley!
