Just 7 days until Viking Cross Country hits the course for the first time this season.

🫡 Viking to Cadet. A new chapter begins.
Congratulations to Nolan Catholic alumnus Danny Cantarella ’26 on officially becoming a Cadet at the United States Air Force Academy after successfully completing Basic Cadet Training.

We’re incredibly proud to see Danny representing Nolan Catholic at one of the nation’s most prestigious military academies, where he will also continue his football career with the Falcons.

The pads are finally on.

Welcome Home!

VIKING FOOTBALL IS BACK!! 💙🏈
The road to Friday nights has officially begun as Viking Football welcomed families to a parent meeting before players gathered for team meetings and celebrated Mass together.

A new season starts with faith, brotherhood, and a shared commitment to the work ahead.

Weeks of early mornings and relentless commitment have all led to one final test at FORGE. Now, the real season begins.

Fall sports are here, and our Vikings are ready.

Let's get to work. ⚔️💙

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦. 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡. 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲. 🇺🇸
