Dear Alumni and Friends of Bishop Watterson,
The COVID-19 crisis has presented challenges to all of us and we want you to know you are included in our prayers at this time. Please include our school community in your prayers as well.
Our teachers and students are dealing with the move to online education with professionalism and perseverance. We are blessed to be a part of a community with the faith, strength and concern for others that we are witnessing.
During this Holy Week, I encourage you to use the events of Christ’s Passion as a source of focus during these troubling times. We have included in this edition of
Eagle Extra
resources for you during the ongoing pandemic and for you to make the most of Holy Week.
Let this week and Easter become for you symbols of hope, renewal and triumph.
Deacon Chris Campbell ‘77
Principal
