WC Robotics has strong showing at worlds
We are very proud of our West Catholic Enigma Robotics team for their strong performance at WORLDS! It was awesome to hear the announcers say “West Catholic Enigma Robotics from Grand Rapids Michigan” in an arena full of 600 robots from around the globe!
After the WORLDS competition, a statistical ranking of performance on the field ranks West Catholic Enigma Robotics as 24th out of 3474 teams in the world, 19th out of 2806 teams in the USA, and 1st out of 511 teams in the State of Michigan!
Click here to check out the WZZM coverage of this exciting competition! Though our team didn’t get interviewed, you will see familiar faces and their robot in action.

Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit
Families joined us for Mass on April 30 and explored the Vatican Exhibition of the Eucharistic Miracles of the World. Students had an exclusive opportunity to experience this exhibit curated by Bl. Carlo Acutis during their religion classes this week. Watch for more opportunities to experience the miracle of the Holy Presence.
Whether we have a special event like this or not, community members are welcome to join us in the cafetorium for Mass on Tuesdays at 10:20 a.m.
