MUSIC
Music is such an important part of a child's life. It is also a beautiful form of prayer! Our choir is a big part of our special liturgies at church. From grades 4 through 8, our students enhance our school with beautiful Gospel music and share their talents with nearby nursing home residents.

As part of a partnership with Oak Park River Forest students volunteer at St. Catherine's which enhances our curriculum and after-school enrichment.  Students interested in a more focused art class can take advantage of our after-school art club.
