Today, our hearts are mourning in solidarity with Assumption Parish and school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after the senseless violence occurred against some of the most innocent souls. We join our prayers to theirs, and ask for God’s mercy and healing upon their community, as we support them as our Catholic brothers and sisters.

Of course, this draws to mind the question if we are doing enough to protect our own students. Please see a letter below that addresses our continued and strengthened efforts to safeguard our youngest disciples and souls that are being formed and educated here at St. Denis School.

Please note: there is a change that will affect daily Mass participants. Wednesday – Friday, on days when school is in session, the doors of the church will be locked from 8:00am through the conclusion of Mass. Please arrive prior to 8:00am, or if you happen to arrive late, please check-in at the school office to be let in to the Church.
