Subject: What an amazing evening!
Last night was incredible! We had a truly beautiful mass with Archbishop Aquila to honor the canonization of St. Pier Giorgio Frassati and to officially recognize our chapel as the St. Pier Giorgio Frassati Chapel. Since our chapel has already been in use, there is no official blessing that is done to decree it, but we will receive an official paper decree with the name of the chapel soon, and we hope to get some sort of a sign in place with the name and date of decree.
We wanted to share a link to the article from the Denver Catholic with you to enjoy. Here it is: PHOTOS: Oratory of St. Frassati Dedicated in Special Ceremony at Frassati Catholic Academy
We also wanted to share a few photos of our own. You will see the joy on the face of Archbishop Aquila and our community! Thank you for making last night so special, and thank you for your continued support!
Blessings,

Presidents Message:
Dear Frassati Community,
September blessings to you! In this beautiful month we are especially thankful for our Blessed Mother, and for the canonization of two amazing men – Bl. Carlo Acutis and Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati! What a gift!
You may have noticed that Mrs. Bailes is sending out the weekly community newsletter. This newsletter will contain much of the event news and happenings around the school, so it will be your go-to source for those items.
However, we recognized a need to keep our community better informed on the state of the school on a more regular basis. Therefore, I will be sending out a monthly newsletter to the community that will give you a brief look at the finances, enrollment, fundraising, donations, grants, and facility. You will find the September newsletter attached.
You will also find attached the donation levels program for Frassati. As we mentioned at back-to-school night, we are asking all families to prayerfully consider how you currently give your time, talent, and treasure to our school, and how you might be able to increase your offerings in these areas this year. We are a vibrant and growing school, but we are also a relatively new school. This is exciting, but it also poses some challenges to us. If we come together as a community, we can begin to address these challenges to overcome them, so that we can be in a healthy financial position which will allow us to begin to allocate our funds to other areas of growth for the school. Bringing the school into a stronger financial position will benefit all of us. The tuition you graciously pay covers the salaries and benefits of the faculty and staff, and for this we are incredibly grateful! But that means that all of the other costs – utilities, curriculum items, facility needs, etc. – have to be covered through fundraising, donations, and sometimes grants. If each of us can prayerfully consider how we can give towards the financial needs of the school, we can work on paying the bonds and reach the point where we are self-sufficient without the need for help from the Archdiocese of Denver. Please take a minute to review the attached sheet to see our leveled giving options. We will be tracking donations this year to honor your family’s level of giving.
I am always willing to sit down to discuss the state of the school, or to discuss giving options with families. You can schedule a time to meet with me by emailing me at eileen.michalczyk@gofrassati.
Blessings,
Eileen Michalczyk, President
