Hello!
This week we held two wonderful Pops Concerts and a beautiful May Crowning Mass. I simply love how Loyola's concerts fit so well with the time of year. There is a real sense of renewed energy that comes from a Pops Concert. There is a sense of Spring, the new life that is present all around us and the promise of the summer to come. Our May Crowning Mass reminds us of the special place our Heavenly Mother Mary holds in our hearts. As we look ahead to the weekend we certainly wish all mothers a Happy Mother's Day. May you feel God's love and your families' love for all you do and who you are!
As we enjoyed the concerts this week some of you may have already heard the news that Loyola is searching for a new choir director. Mrs. Bridget Hermer has resigned from her position as director at the end of this school year. In her own words, "As I felt called to teach at Loyola 11 years ago, I am now feeling called to share my time and talents in other ways in the community. I will always cherish my years at Loyola and my love for the Loyola community remains as strong as ever. Thank you for your support over the years and thank you for your continued support of the Arts at Loyola.
"
We thank Mrs. Hermer for her dedication and commitment to excellence at Loyola. She will be missed greatly but much like the promise of Spring, we hope her calling to begin anew is prosperous and fulfilling for her! All our best, Mrs. Hermer!
We have a schedule change in regard to the first day of school in August. Our first day of school will now be August 27th instead of August 26th. We have been informed that August 26th is a required event for our teaching staff and administration with the Diocese of Winona-Rochester. At this time we are not adding a day back into the calendar. Please see an updated calendar.
Please remember that everyone is welcome to attend Baccalaureate Mass on Wednesday, May 15 at 7pm or graduation on Sunday, May 17. Come and give our seniors a wonderful send-off!
Have a great weekend!
