Central Catholic High School has been a busy place in recent weeks.

Among the highlights was serving as host site for the Diocesan Music Festival. Held in Central Catholic's Masson Auditorium Jan. 30 to Feb.1 this year, it marked the 40th anniversary of the event.

The concert offers an opportunity to see some of the young musicians in the diocese perform at their best.
