Moms' Night Out (9/18/25)
Moms' Night Out is a laid-back, open house style social event hosted by Mothers' Club at the beginning of the school year. We gather in the Vision Room and Holy Family Courtyard, and enjoy light hors d'oeuvres and drinks. Every mom or female guardian of students at St. Francis DeSales High School is invited and encouraged to drop in. Dress is cute casual. It is a great opportunity to get to know other moms, ask questions about the school year, and learn more about the Mothers' Club events going on throughout the year.
