Are you a parent who has lost a child and would appreciate support? Whether it happens through miscarriage, stillbirth, or later in life, the death of a child is a deep and tragic loss for parents – and for their hopes and dreams for the future. No matter what the age, cause of death, or how much time has passed, the grief over the loss of a child weighs heavily on the hearts of parents. On Saturday, October 3, 2026, a one-day Emmaus Retreat for Grieving Parents will be offered at St. Agnes Parish in Freeland.

Nouvel: A Night to Shine is a special evening celebrating Nouvel Catholic Central, it's growth and long-term plans. The first three years created an endowment to support faculty compensation, with the aim of providing long-term, stable income through investment returns on the endowed funds. Through creating an endowment, Nouvel strengthens its commitment to attracting and retaining first-in-class educators to form children in Christ for generations to come. This year will continue that momentum and celebrate continued growth on our campuses.
