On April 26, the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales are sponsoring a "SPAGHETTI & SEMINARIANS" night here in Toledo.  The purpose of the gathering is to help offset some of the costs for the education of our young Oblates.  Because the Oblates will prepare and serve the meal, all of the proceeds will go directly towards this purpose.

Open House is just one week away!!! Open House will take place on Sunday, March 3rd from Noon - 2:00 pm.  Please remember our best press is from our families' word of mouth.  Please spread the word about Gesu to your family, neighbors, co-workers, whoever is looking for a great Catholic School Education!  If we could get just half or our families to bring someone to Gesu to take a look at all of the wonderful opportunities, I am sure we would have a great deal of success.  This is such an exciting time as we prepare for the future of our school!

WE ARE GESU
