April 17, 2020 Dear Catholic School Parents and Guardians, Earlier today, Gov. Pritzker announced the extension of the statewide closure of all schools in Illinois through the remainder of the academic year. As this announcement impacts Catholic schools, our Catholic school buildings will remain closed for the rest of the 2019/20 school year.

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, it is with heavy hearts we have decided to postpone the St. Monica Academy Gala. While we were so excited to celebrate with our school and church community, the health and safety of our community comes first. We have locked in a new date at the same location for November 7, 2020 and are looking forward to seeing everyone then! Click the heading more info info about tickets already purchases

From the Statement of the Archdiocese of Chicago "The decision to temporarily close our schools, beginning Monday, March 16, applies to all Catholic schools that are operated by the Archdiocese of Chicago. Catholic schools not operated by the archdiocese, such as those sponsored by religious orders, will make decisions individually. During this closure period, Catholic school students will be asked to complete academic work through electronic learning (“e-learning”) or alternative learning. Knowing that many families and students of our Catholic schools depend on the daily services we provide, the Office of Catholic Schools and archdiocesan leadership are working to coordinate extended support to those families and students most in need during this time. More information will be shared in the coming days"
