Community and Culture for 2022 2023!
July 25, 2022

Community & Culture Nights educate parents in the strong Catholic identity, unique classical curriculum and particular Ave Maria culture of Donahue Academy, our parish school.
To help parents and parishioners articulate and support Donahue Academy’s mission, we offer several large, educational events, called Community & Culture Nights. These evening get-togethers are held at the school and focus on explaining our Catholic, classical curriculum’s three stages of formation: Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric.
We also offer smaller C&C Relaxed evenings throughout the year. These events give parents and parishioners the opportunity to socialize, build community and learn about important topics that foster the development of all who are involved in Donahue Academy.
All of events are open to the public and free to attend. Note that the C&C Relaxed events have limited seating and will require an RSVP. More details about each event, including RSVP information when applicable, will be provided as the dates draw near. In the meantime, please mark your calendar for these dates and times.
