It happens. Deal.

Deal by itself means distributing cards.

You’re certainly welcome to do that too. Whatever your little pedantic heart desires.

Not if the eagles lost. How dumb.

When my kids was in HS, they'd get the Monday after spring break or another day. Every year there's a "bishop's holiday"

It’s not “too” as you only suggested that one option.

I forgot about this! Live across the country now but we have that here, too. Everyone in the archdiocese gets it and the bishop decides when it should be. It's like surprise fun day traditions at private schools.

We've lived different places and in some places the bishop does it when the weather is the most depressing and when there's the longest stretch between breaks, and in others it goes with a major sports game or victory. I feel like one bishop did it around his birthday or something but I might be making that up.

It's a "surprise" day that happens every single year.

For the 12+ years my children having been going to an Arlington diocese school they've had a "surprise" bishop holiday the day after the Super Bowl.

DC are in two different Catholic HSa, private, and not diocesan. Every year they have a holiday designated by the schools President. One school almost always has the day after SB.

And the Bishop is from Philly.

OP, you must be new, everyone knows that the Catholic schools love their sports!!

Serious question- why do you stay in a Catholic school?

She meant shut it. You said deal cards. Thus, it's a different thing you can do TOO. Two options.

People here get so defensive. It’s kind of funny.

My mom had this same complaint when my sister and I were in Catholic schools 30 years ago. You can like or want your kid to go to a certain school and still be unhappy with some decisions they make. You don’t have to like 100 percent of everything at your kid’s school.

Exactly. The people on this board who think Catholic schools can do no wrong simply have very bad critical-thinking skills and are used to blindly bowing to authority. It’s sad to see.

(When they were growing up, they probably missed school for “bishop fun day” when they were supposed to learn critical thinking).
