Hallow Prayer App
The Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee has entered into a year long partnership with Hallow, the world’s number one Catholic prayer app. If you’re not familiar, Hallow is a free app (with a paid premium subscription level available) that is designed to help people pray. The Rosary, Scripture reflections, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, numerous other devotionals and unique prayer campaigns, often led by celebrities, are all available through the app.
Millions of individuals use it and have been drawn into consistent habits of prayer. Many credit their use of Hallow with a decision to come into full communion with the Catholic Church.
Through our diocesan partnership Bishop Wack will be leading an initial prayer campaign on vocation, “Called by Name” from Aug 31 to Sept 6. This will be available on the main page of the Hallow app for anyone located in the 18 counties of our diocese powered by Hallow’s geofencing capabilities.

To assist us with our planning, please complete the RSVP survey linked here. We look forward to honoring our grandparents at this special Mass on Friday, September 11.
Make A Difference Day
Last week, students were emailed the list of projects and the link to the Participation Survey. They were asked to complete it by Friday, September 4, but have decided to leave it open during the long weekend. Please talk about this event with your student(s) and make sure they sign up to participate.
This event is also an excellent way for both you and your student to get involved at Catholic High and live out our Core Values of Selfless Love and Commitment to Service as you give back or pay it forward to people in our community. If you are available to help, please complete the Google form linked here. Thank you to those who have already volunteered!
If you have any questions, please contact Rita Lay at 850-436-6400 x103 or rlay@pensacolachs.org.
Homecoming Tailgate Party
Homecoming is one of our favorite traditions at Catholic High—a time to celebrate our school, welcome back our alumni, cheer on our Crusaders, and most importantly, come together as one Catholic High family!
This year’s Homecoming football game will take place Friday, October 9, and we’ll kick off the evening with our annual Homecoming Tailgate Party beginning at 4:00 p.m. It promises to be a great afternoon of food, fellowship, school spirit, and Crusader pride leading up to the big game!
An event of this size takes a team, and we need our Catholic High parents to help make it happen! A SignUpGenius has been created with several opportunities to volunteer, including Decorations, Food Prep, Grill Masters, Preparing Flower Arrangements, Food Servers, Dinner Wristband Sales, and Clean Up. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, every helping hand makes a difference.
Homecoming is about so much more than a football game. It is an opportunity to celebrate the community that makes Catholic High such a special place. Students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends all play a part in that family—and there’s no better time for us to come together as one than Homecoming!
Mark your calendars for Friday, October 9, and consider signing up to volunteer. Let’s make Homecoming 2026 a celebration worthy of our Crusader family!

Field Sports Complex
We are so blessed to have completed Phase I of the Field Sports Complex that was begun in October 2025. We were so in need of the three additional fields that can be used by all of our field sports: Football, Boys & Girls Lacrosse, and Boys & Girls Soccer. With the addition of the fields, the Track, Baseball, and Softball teams will also be able to reclaim their fields when they are preparing for meets and games. Full use of the fields will begin in June 2026.
The first phase of this project brought the addition of the three fields including the clearing of the land, installation of irrigation, grass, access roads, lighting, and fencing around the complex. While we have been able to add some seating and a scoreboard from the proceeds of a grant, the remaining seating, a fieldhouse with concession stand, restrooms, storage, and the paving of the roads will be part of Phase II at a later date.
While we have completed Phase I of this project, we are still in need of funds to complete the other Master Growth Projects that are on our list which includes Phase II of Field Sports Complex.
Please consider a sacrificial five-year pledge to the Capital Campaign. The following Naming Opportunities are available and we also have other recognition levels through our Pillars Plaque.
