On behalf of the Executive Board, I am excited to welcome both new and returning families to the 2026-27 Guerin Catholic Parent Guild!
My husband Mike and I have four children – Annie ’24, Maggie ’27, Jack ’30, and Ben ’30 – and have been blessed to be part of this incredible school community since 2020. We are thrilled that our twins, Jack and Ben, are now freshmen and have officially joined the Nest!
I have had the pleasure of being involved in the Parent Guild for a few years now and have seen first hand the significant impact that parents’ willingness to share their time, talents and prayers has on building the community that makes Guerin Catholic such a special place. Thanks to these contributions, the Parent Guild is able to support our students, faculty, staff and families through a variety of events and programs from social events for students and families to meals, treats and “wish list” supplies to support our incredible teachers and staff. Whether you are new to Guerin Catholic or a long time family, we invite you get involved this year. Join us at a Parent Guild meeting to hear more about this year’s events and how you can help.

In addition to the Parent Guild webpage, be sure to check out the weekly Guerin Catholic Update e-newsletter, which is sent out every Friday, and contains the latest news and updates on all upcoming Guerin Catholic events and activities.
I look forward to the opportunity to serve alongside you this year. May God continue to bless our Guerin Catholic community!
With gratitude,
Kristin Shedlock
