Allentown Central Catholic High School invited partner school families to their middle school sports and activity information session held Feb. 1 in Masson Auditorium. Families learned about our middle school programs including baseball, softball, football, girls volleyball, boys wrestling, boys and girls basketball and marching band/front.

These programs are offered to seventh and eighth graders in our partner schools; but the information session was open to all partner school families in grades third through eighth who want to learn more about our middle school programs and ACCHS athletics. For more information, contact Dennis Csensits, ACCHS athletic director at desensits@acchs.info or 610-437-4601, ext. 119.

ACCHS Campus Ministry is hosting a retreat to the Padre Pio Center Feb. 11. Students will encounter his life and legacy as they visit the Padre Pio National Center in Barto. A Mass will be enjoyed at the Spirituality Center, a visit to Our Lady of Grace Chapel (a historically accurate Franciscan site based on Padre Pio’s own church) will be made and students will see the largest collection of authentic Padre Pio relics in the United States which make his story come to life in the museum & cultural center. Students will bring their own lunch and money for the gift shop. A stop for ice cream will be made at Longacres.

Allentown Central Catholic partnered with Parkland High School recently and raised $3,300 for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation Lehigh Valley. Special T-shirts were sold at both schools and worn during the boys basketball game Jan. 25.

Our ACCHS band and chorus members joined musicians from Marian Catholic, Bethlehem Catholic, Berks Catholic and Nativity BVM high schools for a rehearsal day at Marian Catholic High School in preparation for the 2022 Diocesan Music Festival Feb. 25 and 26.
