Honor a Loved One
Join us in celebrating the legacy of Catholic school education by honoring a loved one with a luminary. It is our honor and privilege to remember those who have left a lasting impact on young people in our Catholic school community.
As part of our evening prayer service, each name submitted will be read aloud, accompanied by the lighting of a corresponding light. Together, we will illuminate our campus in tribute to the many individuals who have given their time, talent, and treasure over the 150-year legacy of Catholic education in Duluth.
Their light will shine brightly, inspiring us to carry forward their legacy and to continue transforming our world in the spirit of our mission.
“I give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you, praying always with joy in my every prayer for all of you, because of your partnership for the gospel from the first day until now.”
