As part of Catholic Schools Week, Cardinal Newman was honored to welcome a very special group to campus for our 1st Annual Grandparents’ Day, a morning dedicated to faith, family, and the generations who helped shape our Crusaders.
More than 140 grandparents filled the Newman Café for a joyful breakfast celebration featuring bingo, laughter, and live piano music by our own Crusader musician. The room buzzed with conversation, smiles, and the unmistakable pride that only grandparents can bring as they gathered to celebrate the students they love so dearly.
After breakfast, grandparents had the opportunity to step into their grandchildren’s daily lives by visiting classes and/or touring the Cardinal Newman campus together. These moments, walking the halls, sitting in classrooms, and sharing stories, beautifully reflected the strong connection between family and education that is at the heart of our Catholic mission.
The morning concluded with a truly special keepsake as Big Blue captured photographs of our Crusaders alongside their grandparents, preserving memories that will be cherished for years to come. These images serve as a reminder of the love, guidance, and prayers grandparents so generously give, and the role they play in nurturing faith, character, and tradition.
Grandparents hold a unique and treasured place in our community. They are storytellers, role models, prayer warriors, and lifelong cheerleaders, quietly supporting, encouraging, and inspiring our students every step of the way. We are deeply grateful for the wisdom, love, and legacy they bring to Cardinal Newman.
Thank you to all who joined us for this meaningful celebration. We look forward to making Grandparents Day a cherished Cardinal Newman tradition for years to come.
