Welcome to the Guerin Catholic Parent Guild!
As this year’s Parent Guild’s president I am so excited that you are here to learn more about what we do for our amazing school. I have had the pleasure of serving on the Parent Guild for 2 years in various capacities and have loved my time to help our students and staff. My husband Paul and I are the proud parents of Jacob ’26 and Julia ’29. There are many ways to get involved both inside or alongside the Parent Guild and we hope that this will be your first step!
It is my pleasure, along with the Parent Guild Executive Board and Chairs, to help lead the charge on continuing the mission to support our students, teachers and families through a variety of events and programming.
I first want to invite you to the monthly Parent Guild meetings. This is a great way to keep updated on what is going on within our school and learn more about the upcoming events we help to facilitate. These range from weekly treats for our staff and teachers to fundraiser events and a lot in between!
