Community Opportunities
Welcome to our Community Opportunities page! This is a central place for families to discover events, programs, and activities available to parents and students outside the immediate Blanchet community.
As local churches, schools, nonprofit organizations, and community partners share opportunities with us, we will post them here. Whether you're looking for family events, volunteer opportunities, educational programs, youth activities, or community resources, we hope this page helps you stay connected and engaged.
Be sure to check back regularly, as new events and opportunities will be added throughout the year.
If your organization has an event or opportunity that would benefit Blanchet families, we'd love to hear from you. Please email blanchet@blanchetcatholicschool.com with the details for consideration.
Once a year we have the privilege of honoring Father Taaffe and holding an amazing dinner and program to help sustain his homes for young pregnant women and their children. This year is no exception – and we would love you to attend.
Please see how to purchase a ticket below. Also feel free to share this with your family, friends, co-workers and others. If this will be your first time to attend – we know you’ll be moved by the stories of the mothers and their children as well as the wonderful volunteers who continue to support this program.
