"Arise! Shine, for your light has come, the glory of the LORD has dawned upon you." -Isaiah 60:1

September 12, 2022

From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal

SAL Parents:

This past Wednesday, I attended two separate meetings and it was ironic that at both meetings, the prayer we recited was “The Memorare.” And equally ironic is that at both meetings, someone commented that The Memorare reminded them of Father John Yockey. I thought to myself, what a great way to be memorialized and remembered . . .

The other prayer we recited was “St. Michael the Archangel.” If you are unfamiliar with “St. Michael the Archangel,” it goes as follows:

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits who, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I was unfamiliar with St. Michael the Archangel; however, I have to say that this prayer caused me to pause and be reflective. The idea that evil spirits “prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls” is an unpleasant thought to say the least. What does give me comfort, however, is that I have great confidence, that while at St. Anthony’s, our students and families are protected and shielded from those prowling evil spirits. The care and concern shown for students at SAL is truly a blessing.

We will continue to do our best to work with St. Michael the Archangel as he continues to defend us in battle, and we look forward to continuing to serve you and your family.

Have a blessed week ahead!

Take care,

M. Van Hulle

Principal, SAL
