Christ the Redeemer Catholic School first grade students visited nine classrooms for the nine months Mary was pregnant with Jesus. Better known as Las Posadas (Posadas is Spanish for “lodgings” or “accommodations”), the whole school was able to understand this rich tradition in Latin culture by participating in this “journey.”

Honoring the dead is a meaningful and important part of Catholic tradition. Nov. 1, All Saints, and Nov. 2, All Souls, allow us to revere and honor our beloved dead.
