Dear Parents,

  

Welcome back to another glorious school year.  We are so happy to have the students back in the building raring to go!  The excitement could be felt in all corners of the school these last few days.  We did not let the heat get us down or the rain dampen our spirits.  I look forward to seeing you at our many events starting with "Fall Fest" next weekend.

 

It's going to be another  "Great year to be a Cardinal!"

  

Sincerely,

 

 

Margaret M. Hayes

Principal

Call for Prayer, by Fr. Edgar Rodriguez

       The situation in Iraq is not getting better and many minorities, including Coptic Catholics, are been displaced and severely oppressed because of their faith. In response to Bishop Saad Sirop Hanna's request/challenge that we join in prayer for peace in Iraq, our school children and teachers stayed after Mass to pray before the Blessed Sacrament. 

       See the attached Photograph, and please join us in prayer.
