LETTER
FROM THE
 PRINCIPAL
|
Parents,
In his homily yesterday, Fr. Satish talked about the latest census data that indicated an emerging group of Americans that fall into the religious category of "None." These are not atheists or agnostics, they simply do not know God or religion.
When I heard this I began thinking about our school Mass last Thursday morning. We are a very diverse community, with families from a wide range of religious backgrounds. At the beginning of the service there was uncertainty from students who are not Catholic or do not regularly attend Mass. However, the Holy Spirit took over as Luke Danis sang a powerful communion song and more than forty seniors stood up to lead our closing hymn. By the end it was truly a celebration by all!
All of this makes me feel very blessed to have the opportunity to work in a faith-filled environment where we can help students grow and become the person God intends them to be. Carroll graduates don't have to be Catholic, but if we are doing our job right, they will never be "None".
It's a Great Day to Be a Patriot!
