I am looking forward to running my first race since October 2021 when I ran the Mankato marathon. This 7 mile race will help raise money for Catholic education. Please click on QR code to donate. Our students will be grateful! @BishopStangHS @BishopStangAD

A great day for Spartan Village yesterday

[Bishop Stang HS @BishopStangHS]

It was an amazing gift of a day for students, staff, coaches, and friends as Bishop da Cunha blessed our new athletic fields amidst the perfection of green turf and blue skies. Thank you to all who had a hand in making this dream come true for Spartan Village.

Big wins by our girls and boys basketball teams! Onto the Sweet 16! @BishopStangAD

[Jim Benson @PrezBishopStang]

@FeehanPres This is what is done in Midwest and actually allows for earlier summer break. Would families be willing to give up the mid winter break vacation and hold off until later March?

[Jim Benson @PrezBishopStang]

@GioWFAN Anyone who is a die hard fan who cringes at the thought of family coming over to “watch” the game completely appreciates this moment!

Lord God, author of peace, as we are ever mindful of the cost paid for the liberty we possess, we ask you to bless all members of our armed forces. Give them courage, hope and strength. May they ever experience your firm support, gentle love & compassionate healing. Amen. (USCCB)

A HUGE Spartan Congrats to Jacob Cookinham,& his family! Jacob signed on to attend the U of Kansas. He’s one of the best young shot putters in the country. But he's also just one of the all-around nicest human beings we've had the privilege to know. SO proud of you Jacob!

If Catholic schools were a state, they’d be the highest performing in the nation on all four NAEP tests.
