Ask many alums what their favorite Academy tradition is and “Christmas Baskets” is a frequent reply. To recall these special memories, since 2013 ASH alums have responded to the invitation to participate in the Academy’s annual appeal for Christmas baskets. And this year’s generous alumni response was overwhelming, resulting in 63 baskets overflowing with food for needy families in the area! READ MORE

Plan now to attend our annual Trivia Night on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2017. Our theme for costumes and décor will be the Roaring Twenties —but questions will be General Trivia, as usual. Tables of eight are available @ $200 per table. This is one party in the new year that you won’t want to miss! CLICK HERE for more information, or contact Molly Renken, 636-946-6127, ext. 1602.
A Christmas liturgy will be offered for the intentions of our benefactors and friends in the Shrine of St. Philippine Duchesne on Saturday, Dec. 24 at 10 p.m. All are invited to join us.
More than 260 baskets filled with items needed for a holiday meal, other staples, paper products, and sometimes a toy or surprise, were donated by Academy school families and alumni to help people in need this holiday season. The baskets were stacked on the bleachers during today’s Christmas Basket Mass, after which students were dismissed for the Christmas holidays. Eighth Class student and parent volunteers delivered the baskets to a dozen charitable agencies in the St. Charles/St. Louis area. We’re grateful for this bountiful display of generosity! Merry Christmas, everyone!
