St. Alphonsus School families create lifelong memories on Saturday, February 15th, at the annual Sweetheart Dance from 6:00-8:00 p.m. (Note that the date has changed from Feb. 8th to Feb. 15th.) Children from every grade end up showcasing their moves on the dance floor, and even manage to teach the parents a new step or two! Fathers and daughters, mothers and sons also get a few special dances in too. Students can make valentines for their classmates to be sent on Valentine’s Day. There is even a photo booth to capture all the love! Everyone is encouraged to dress up in their fancy, twirly dresses and dapper suits for an evening with our beloved friends and St. Al’s family.

Sign-ups for food, decorations, and volunteer opportunities are sent out in the weeks leading up to the event.

Our students receive Catholic religious instruction with a focus on scripture, prayer, and faith community experiences. All students attend mass each Friday and/or on Holy Days. Mass begins at 8:15 a.m. in the Church of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. Parents are welcome to attend Mass and are asked to sit behind the classes as students worship together. Second through sixth grades prepare and lead the liturgy throughout the year. Kindergartners and first graders begin reading at mass later in the spring semester. Students participate in the greeting, readings, choir, offertory procession, and altar serving.
