Thank you to all who have made this possible, especially the leadership of our Capital Campaign, our Principals (recent past and present), and the many people who work behind the scenes to maintain our Catholic identity and continue to grow our fine school. Above all, thank you who have supported these efforts, especially with your stewardship of treasure. Today, Catholic identity in a school is more than just having the external appearances of being “Catholic,” such as having crucifixes and other holy images displayed. These should be there, as they are visible reminders of the faith; but the faith needs to go deeper than that. Catholic identity should be seen in how our schools take the opportunity to pray on a daily basis, reminding our staff AND our students that God is close to them and that they should always be turning to Him for His guidance and protection. Our schools must be places where students learn about Christ, not just as a person about whom they would study in a history class, but as somebody who they get to know on a personal level as one who loves them and who wants to share His life with them. They also learn the many other wonderful teachings that He has given us to help us in our lives. So, we should expect to find an environment where everybody is treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve as children of God. Each student is not just being prepared to be successful in whatever lies ahead in life, but also they are being formed to be saints one day in Heaven.
