For the second consecutive year I will be hosting Friday office hours after the 9:00am Mass until noon. Please look for the sign-up in Tuesday Tidbits to schedule a time to meet with me. You are welcome to email me and schedule a different appointment time if Fridays do not work for you, but for those parents that just want to chat, I can’t wait to hear your ideas as well as share ours for the year to ahead. The feedback you give at these meetings allows for immediate action to be taken if necessary. The annual survey–though it allowed for every voice in the faith community to be heard–was untimely and lacked the personal connection that is imperative for any healthy dialogue to occur.

We are all excited to partner with you again for another academic year. As we enter into a school year that looks a bit more familiar and certainly more desirable than the past couple of years, let us lean on the words of St. Catherine of Siena, who will help our entire faith community remain mission-driven for the year ahead; Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring. We have never been a community that becomes or remains complacent, so let us continue to push one another to strive for improvement in every element of our partnership, and remember that our long term goal for these children remains the same: sainthood.

I pray that God will bless you always,

Mr. Michael J. Pryor
Principal
