Message from the Principal
|
|
Dear Parents,
What another outstanding school year it has been at Cardinal Ritter High School! Our students have celebrated the sacraments together, served the community together, grown academically, and shared in athletic accomplishments. Your children have put in countless hours in and out of the classroom and they have earned this upcoming summer break. (But please remind them about their summer reading!)
It is also a bittersweet end of the school year for me personally as I will be leaving Cardinal Ritter High School at the end of June to pursue a Ph.D. in education to work with teacher preparation at the university level. All 12 years of my time in education has been spent at Cardinal Ritter and this school has been my second home.
The families that make up this community are simply amazing and I will miss being able to partner with you in the education of your children. Please know of my prayers for the continued successful advancement of the mission of Cardinal Ritter!
Have a great summer and may God bless the students, families, faculty, and staff of Cardinal Ritter High School!
Matt Hollowell

Closing Prayer
Dear Father in heaven, we thank you for guiding us, your children, here on earth. We thank you that whatever happens to us, we can again and again find joy because you give us what is good even when times are evil and when we go through sorrow. We thank you that your goodness and your faithfulness penetrate everything, and that at last, at long last, they penetrate our hearts. Then we can know and be glad that your Spirit guides us. We can know we are never alone but can receive strength to help us in the struggle and toil of our life. Through your help everything becomes fruitful β good and evil, life and death, health and suffering. Everything must serve you through the working of your Spirit. Amen.
