Cardinals Corner | Edition #15| December 5, 2019
A LETTER FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families,

The day is finally upon us, Sunday, December 15, 2019, we will have an official ground-breaking event for the new school building. The event will be held on our field after the 10:00 am mass.
This moment belongs to all of us. It belongs to Mgsr. Paul Pieri who had the insight to believe in what this neighborhood in Houston had to share, to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet who originally were sent here to start a school for the hearing impaired and to all our parishioners and alumni who have walked these halls, joined in praise and have gone before us but always supported our mission.

It is our faith which has carried us through these last years, and it is your faith that we call upon again as we look to complete this building and future phases ahead. We ask each and every member of our community to stand behind this effort with your prayers and your words of encouragement to take our “Faith to the Finish!”.

Please join us as we begin the journey three years in the making.

We would love to see you there,

Mrs. Drabek
