Updated Campus Security

Campus security remains in the forefront of all facilities planning. We are happy to share an additional security enhancement. The gating surrounding the gazebo, between the school and parish offices, has now begun. We will continue to have our police detail in place as we travel to and from the church.

We would love to feature our graduates in our Alumni Corner. If you are a proud St. Gregory alumna or alumnus, we invite you to share your story and reconnect with our school community. Contact the Development Office at 954-473-8170 or development@saintgreg.org to learn more about this special opportunity. We would love to hear from you!

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini

Friday, November 13, 2026

Today, as we celebrate the Memorial of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini, we invite you to learn five facts about her life and discover where she is portrayed in America’s Catholic Church.

Frances Xavier Cabrini grew up in Italy during a time when women missionaries were unheard of – but she didn’t let that stop her from following God’s call to minister to the vulnerable in New York. From founding schools and hospitals to rescuing orphans off the streets, Frances Xavier Cabrini worked tirelessly to care for those society viewed as “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40). Read more on the Basilica of the National Shrine website.

“Today love must not be hidden… it must be living, active and true.” – Frances Xavier Cabrini

Thanksgiving Day Masses

Friday, November 13, 2026

We are pleased to offer two Masses on November 26th, Thanksgiving Day. The first Mass will be at 8:30 am, missa simplex without music, and the second Mass will be a concelebrated liturgy with music and choir at 10:30 am. Let us praise God and show Him gratitude for our national heritage and the manifold blessings we have received! So that the priests can also celebrate a Thanksgiving meal, there will not be the normal Thursday adoration period nor evening confessions. Thanksgiving blessings to all!

Super Reader Shirt Donations

Friday, November 13, 2026

Each year some of our students in grades 2nd-5th grade reach the "Super Reader" status by meeting a word count requirement on the Accelerated Reader program and "Million Word Reader" status once they reach a million words read. We celebrate their success by giving them a special shirt, which they can wear on Fridays, and post their photo on the "Super Reader" bulletin board. Please consider making a donation using this Super Reader Shirt Donations link to help offset the price of the shirts for our students. Thank you for your support!
