The Christmas season at Cabrini High School is filled with beloved traditions, community spirit, and celebrations rooted in Cabrinian faith. Festivities began with the highly anticipated Cabrini High School Cookie Bake, a cherished dad-and-daughter event that offered yet another unforgettable evening of laughter, connection, and flour-covered fun. After a cozy Daddy and Daughter Dinner prepared by the famed Cabrini Dads’ Club chefs, cookie dough was rolled out, and the beloved “Flour Fight” erupted once again as clouds of flour and laughter filled the parking lot, celebrating the spirit of the season and the unique bond shared by Cabrini families.
The cookies baked that evening are enjoyed each year at Christmas on the Bayou, Cabrini’s treasured annual holiday celebration when Santa arrives on Bayou St. John. Families gather along the banks of the bayou to enjoy carols, choir performances, and lively routines from Cabrini’s award-winning Cheer and Dance Teams.
Christmas joy continues through the faculty Prayer Angel exchange, where participants pray for one another before revealing their identities at the faculty Christmas party. Krescent Kringle elves surprise students with treats and prizes, including skip-the-lunch-line passes, special dress-day privileges, and even a playful “pull the fire alarm” prize.
Grade-level and faculty Christmas trees are decorated in themes chosen by student council officers. Ugly sweater contests, hot cocoa bars, and Christmas music is sprinkled through lunchtime celebrations.
the season, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception Mass honored Mary’s “yes” to God and Mother Cabrini’s faithful example of answering “yes” to her calling as well. As part of this cherished tradition, senior Crescents received their Mother Cabrini rosaries, symbolizing the guidance of both the Blessed Mother and our school’s patroness.
Together, these traditions reflect the heart of Cabrini High School: joy, community, faith, and the enduring spirit of Cabrinian women. As the school community enters exam week and the Christmas holidays, we celebrate the coming of the Savior with gratitude and hope.
