What would Jesus do during the COVID-19 pandemic?

In the midst of this stressful and challenging time, our faculty and staff are deeply saddened by the passing of Tom Bertero, the husband of our 8th grade teacher, Elisabeth Bertero. If you read the email from Mrs. Ryan about this terrible loss for the Bertero family, you will understand how much this has affected all of us. Tom was family here at St. Rose. We know that our St. Rose community also shares with us our deepest condolences to the Bertero family. We ask that everyone give the family time to grieve and mourn their loss. Many of you may want to reach out to Elisabeth and her family, but we ask that you give them space at this time. If you would like to send a card or note to the family, please send to St. Rose and we will forward on at the appropriate time.
