    The SPS President’s Hebdomadal Blue Ribbon Newsletter Celebrating 108 years of educational excellence in Covington 339 years of Lasallian tradition throughout the world September 16 - 22, 2019 Our Birthday Week as wonderful. From the many well wishes we received, to the scrumptious Mothers Club lunch on Tuesday, to a full house of Shadow Day participants, to the boys singing Joyful, Joyful We Adore You on Thursday, to the birthday sign (thanks Sign Gypsies!) to the parade, snacks and pep rally on Friday to the thrilling football win over Jesuit on Fri night – everything came together to make it a memorable week. Even the weather cooperated. And now we go forward. Given the declining number and aging of the Christian Brothers in the United States, whether the next century will see Brothers at Saint Paul’s remains to be seen. But the Lasallian Dream is firmly planted on our campus, and will be nurtured carefully by the ever-growing number of committed Lasallian Partners. But we look upon the future with, in the words of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, “the eyes of faith.” As I wrote last week, welcome to the Saint Paul’s of 2019– 108 years young with 101 years strong in the Lasallian vision. In the words of Saint Peter, we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, living stones building the edifice of the Mystical God and fulfilling the Lasallian Mission of Saint John Baptist de La Salle in our age. And as we go about our work, we remember that we are standing on holy ground – for God is here, and where God is is holy.
