MCC recognized for exceptional service to others
On Monday, Bishop John Noonan and Diocese of Orlando Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Mr. Henry Fortier presented MCC with the St. Teresa of Calcutta Award for Faith in Action. We earned this special recognition for our increased outstanding service at Daily Bread. MCC's President, Nick Regina and Principal, Ernie Herrington were very proud to accept this award. This is the second time in three years that we receive this recognition for providing exceptional service to others. Hustlers make a difference in our local community!
First school Mass celebrates the Assumption of Mary
Today the MCC community gathered in the gymnasium to celebrate the first Mass of this school year. The Mass was concelebrated by Fr. Vince Wirtner, member of the MCC Campus Ministry team, and Fr. Bob Hoeffner. During his homily, Fr. Vince encouraged us to take Jesus' message of hope into our communities and the world. He reminded us of the importance of being people of hope. Hope is present in our MCC family and the simple pleasures we find in our daily lives. We are called to be beacons of hope everywhere we go.
