These are the truths of our faith enacted ritually at the Rite of Election.

South Jersey Catholic Schools Regional High School Fair 4.22.26
2026-04-22 17:00 - 20:00
Is the pressure of choosing the right high school keeping you up at night?
We know that after a while, every school brochure starts to look exactly the same. It’s hard to tell
schools apart on paper, and it’s frustrating to feel like you’re just “guessing” about your child’s future.
Don’t spend another month falling down internet rabbit holes only to end up more confused than when
you started.
You can find the right high school for your child in just one night.
