Welcome Message to Families and Staff

Dear Families and Staff,

As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, we are excited to welcome everyone back to our Catholic school communities. A new school year brings with it renewed energy, new possibilities, and another opportunity to grow together in faith, learning and service.

We are especially grateful to our dedicated staff, whose care, professionalism and commitment help create welcoming, faith-filled communities where every student can learn, grow and experience a true sense of belonging. To our parents and families, thank you for your continued partnership and for the trust you place in us each day.

As a Catholic school system, we are reminded that we do not undertake this work alone. Guided by Christ and strengthened by our faith, we are called to recognize the gifts in one another and to build communities characterized by hope, compassion and love.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” (1 Corinthians 16:14)

May God bless our students, families and staff, and may He guide us throughout the year ahead. We look forward to a wonderful school year filled with faith, learning, friendship and many reasons to celebrate.

Welcome back and may the year ahead bring you every blessing.

Carol Luciani – Chair of the Board of Trustees
Mike McDonald – Chief Executive Officer
