Dear Paramus Catholic Alumni,

It is my hope that this letter finds you well and filled with the spirit of the upcoming Thanksgiving season. It is with deep appreciation and heartfelt gratitude that I express my sincerest thank you for your generous donations.

Recently, one of our alumnae experienced a devastating house fire. Your contributions have played a crucial role in helping them navigate through the challenging time. Your willingness to support our community during moments of need is a testimony to the great strength of our bonds and values that we hold dear. Together we are more than a school; we are a family.

As we approach Thanksgiving , a time to reflect upon our blessings, I want to express my gratitude for your financial support.

May the Thanksgiving season bring you and your families joy, warmth, health, and an abundance of blessings.

Dr. Stephanie Macaluso
President/Principal

The PC community holds dear all those who selflessly have served our country. 

“Let us remember those who have sacrificed so much to serve our country. Let us keep them all in our prayers, on Veterans Day and always.” - Archbishop Broglio

Lauren China Imbruglia PC ’85

After graduating college with a degree in Veterinary Technology, Lauren married the older brother of her childhood friend. They eventually settled in Ridgewood where they raised their three children and Lauren began teaching middle school French.

During her 20 years as a teacher, she had a dream of creating a calm yet invigorating green space where she could share her hobby of plants with people. After two years of pop up plant shops and delivering plants from her home, Lauren retired from teaching in June 2023, and opened her own store in Ridgewood, Deeply Rooted; Ridgewood’s Little Plant Shop in August 2023. The name is a wink and a nod to the deep community roots she feels. She currently enjoys helping people choose the right plant for their space, given their confidence level, decor, light, etc.  The philosophy of the shop is that anyone can have a green thumb, they just need a little information and confidence along the way!

Visit Lauren and Deeply Rooted at 14 West Ridgewood Avenue, Ridgewood NJ, or online at deeplyrootedridgewood.com

On Thursday, February 1, 2024, during our celebration of Catholic Schools Week, Paramus Catholic will be hosting a career information day for our students. We are asking if any alumni would like to share their work experiences with our students and spend a few hours at PC. If you would like to be a part of this special event email Scott Langan by November 20, 2023, with your name, graduation year, and the career you would like to share. 

This year for All Souls Day we asked our entire school community to submit the names of family members, friends, and loved ones who have died. The names were placed in our book of remembrance which is displayed in the school chapel. On November 2, 2023, the school came together to celebrate Mass and prayers for your loved ones. The school community will continue to pray for all the souls listed throughout the month of November.
