We came together for Mass, taking time to pause, pray, and reflect. As we move through this month, may we remember to slow down, make room for what matters most, and recognize that we are never alone. It is in prayer and in community, that we find strength @AQAlumni @AQPrincipal

We love our sweets and treats… and the amazing people who bring them! @AQAlumni @AQPrincipal Our middle school faculty knows the way to our hearts (and our stomachs 📷). Just another reason our people make AQ so special.

Last Friday, our 6th graders took over Wegmans Stadium right before the weekend for the annual Pumpkin Drop! The weather was supreme, the pumpkins may have taken a tumble, but our Li’l Irish got to enjoy some fun outside the classroom – all while learning of course @AQPrincipal
