From the Principal's Notepad

Dear Parents,   

   The month of May always brings great excitement, the Ascension, Pentecost and Graduation. Like the first Apostles, we move forward in our actions and words, building up the Kingdom and continually striving toward the greatness we were created for by our God. Through the Trinity, and in communion together, we are the heart, hands, and feet of Jesus. 

   Our Seniors have journeyed together listening and absorbing the Gospel message. Now they will move on in their adult pilgrimage to bring the Good News and show God's Light to others along their paths. The last steps on their road here at St. Francis are busy ones with final exams, AP exams, school Masses, Senior Award ceremonies, Baccalaureate Mass, and Graduation. Truly an exciting time!

   Congratulations to our Baseball, Latin, Tennis, Track and Softball teams as they finished competing in their post-season contests. Congratulations also to our Beowulf Players on their recent sold out performances of Annie Jr. We also welcome Mr. Scott McDaniel as Spring football begins. Mr. McDaniel will also be joining our Faculty full time for the 2015-2016 school year.

   Please be sure to double check all the important dates and happenings within the newsletter as we finish our last five weeks of school.

  Truly, Graduation, like Pentecost, is affirmation of a new beginning in God with the Holy Spirit leading the way. Congratulations and God Bless the Class of 2015!

       
Peace,

 

Ernie Herrington
