The Church of the Gesu will open its doors to the community to commemorate Gesu School’s 25th Anniversary as an independent Catholic school. This special occasion recognizes the vital role that the church has played in Gesu School's history as a former parish school and its ongoing importance to our school today. All are welcome.
