ABVM School
NEW REGIONAL CATHOLIC SCHOOL
On Tuesday evening Sister Pat and I met with our parish implementation committee, - Ester Hilferty, Debbie McGrody and Nick Lampone. The committee will help steer us through many tasks we have to accomplish in the very near future.
It is important to remember that this is a merger only of schools, not of parishes. Each parish remains distinct and separate, with its own celebration of the sacraments and its own CYO programs. (CYO is open to all children of the parish. It is not a school extra—curricular activity).
I shall keep you informed as we make progress in establishing a strong, sustainable and attractive Catholic school in our region.
Remember to access
www.faithinthefuture.com for further information from the Archdiocese.
Please pray for this endeavor.
