Northwest Catholic is thrilled to announce the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Breen Athletic Complex, marking a significant milestone in the school’s commitment to student-athletes and the community.

This momentous occasion would not have been possible without the unwavering support of generous donors. Mark Breen, the Carew Family, and an anonymous benefactor have gifted Northwest Catholic with this extraordinary facility, and the community extends their heartfelt gratitude to them. Their dedication to our mission of nurturing well-rounded individuals is truly inspiring.

Northwest Catholic would also like to express sincere appreciation to the dedicated individuals who worked tirelessly to turn this dream into a reality. Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Mrs. Valerie Mara, Head of School Father Michael Dolan, Athletic Director Ashley Mara, Advancement Director Patrick Williamson, and the entire team deserve utmost thanks.

It symbolizes a place where dreams take shape, where teamwork and determination flourish, and where lasting memories are made. This facility will serve as a beacon of inspiration and triumph for generations to come, strengthening the school’s commitment to fostering excellence both on and off the field.

Today, Northwest Catholic celebrates not only a remarkable facility but the spirit of generosity and community that makes Northwest Catholic exceptional.
