Dear Parents,
Wednesday, Sept. 9 was the feast day of St. Peter Claver, patron saint of all missions to black people. Fr. Anthony and Amanda Livermore, following the lead of our Catholic Bishops, invited us to pray the rosary asking Our Lady, mother of all, to join with us to pray for the end of the sin of racism. Fr. Anthony reminds us that on the night before he died, Jesus prayed that all will be one. Whenever we are not fulfilling this command to be one, we have fallen into sin. We continue to ask God to help unify us with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
We are excited for our first ever Virtual Back to School Night on Wednesday, September 16th. For Back to School Night, you will meet each of your student's teachers, virtually! Please see details, below, as to how to login to Schoology to participate in our Virtual Back to School Night.
As you were made aware last week, we had two cases of students who tested positive for COVID-19. We wanted to assure you that we are following the mandates recommended by the CDC and Office of Catholic Schools. Updated recommendations from the CDC and Office of Catholic Schools may be found here.
Finally, today, September 11, is a date that is forever etched in our memories. On this date in 2001 and the days and months that followed, we saw our country come together. We mourned together, we prayed together, we moved forward together. Join us in praying for the victims and their families forever changed by this day. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

A Message from BMC President |
|
We have reached nearly three weeks of instruction for the fall semester. During this time we have seen a number of promising developments on our campus as our students, faculty and staff have worked together to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Many of you understand that taking individual responsibility for what you do helps keep other individuals safe. Let’s continue to mind the public health recommendations: wear facial coverings, maintain social distancing, wash your hands frequently, stay home if you are sick, and avoid mass gatherings.
Let's all work together to help keep our Hornets healthy!
Thomas Doyle
President, Bishop Moore Catholic
