CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2019 CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES

June 2019 Formed in Faith

Dear Catholic Community, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the members of the graduating Class of 2019 Led by Love for their achievements. The Class of 2019 has proven to be successful academically, but even more importantly, as witnesses to strong faith in God. I applaud the graduates for living out their faith and serving as true testaments to the pillars of Catholic education. These young men and women Sent to Serve set themselves apart when they chose Catholic schools for their educational careers. Catholic schools allowed them to grow spiritually and enhanced their values while developing their academic skills and nurturing intellectual curiosity. As our newest alumni leave our schools, they take with them the tools to succeed. Their success will not be confined to academic capabilities. I have faith that our graduates will be prosperous in their careers, will become leaders, and will make wise life decisions guided by Catholic principles. Academy of Our Lady Jesuit Witnessing in Catholic schools the value of living a spiritually rich life will contribute to their success in future endeavors. Academy of the Sacred Heart Mount Carmel Academy The success of the graduates of 2019 is possible because of the positive influences in their lives. I thank parents, as the first educators, for entrusting their children to our care. I thank administrators, Archbishop Chapelle Pope John Paul II teachers, counselors, librarians, coaches, chaplains, and all involved in the ministry of Catholic St. Augustine education for serving as consistent, honorable role models and for providing exceptional education Archbishop Hannan deeply rooted in the teachings of the Gospel. As a parent and an educator, I know our children’s St. Charles Catholic overall success relies little on test scores and report cards, but rather on our children’s devotion Archbishop Rummel and modeling of the teachings of the Church. It is my belief that our newest alumni will be young St. Katharine Drexel men and women who, because of their compassion and commitment to the betterment of all, will Archbishop Shaw be positive role models in all of their interactions. St. Mary’s Academy I ask you to remember the graduates in your prayers as they follow God’s plan for this new chapter Brother Martin in their lives. Once again, I thank the Class of 2019 for choosing Catholic schools; and, I commend St. Mary’s Dominican them on their success as graduates of academically rigorous, spiritually strong institutions.
