Please take a few minutes to watch the enclosed DVD together with your family. You will hear from students, parents, principals and pastors who have experienced the closing of their school, as well as a special message from Cardinal George.

Here are just a few quotes from Continuing Your Catholic Education :

“I would say to a student whose school just closed that it’s going to be ok, you’ll make new friends, so don’t worry!”
Ivie Ehigie – Student

“ They’ll have activities from the day you come in to make you feel at home. We have meetings for parents even before school begins. We have meetings with the children, not just tours. We’ll have “shadow days” so you can see how the schools are.”
Mr. Richard Guerin, Principal

“I like Catholic school because you learn about God. They tell us a story about God, how He made this community and about the Gospel. At public schools they don’t talk about God and the do the Pledge of Allegiance without mentioning God.”
Nayla Jimenez – Student

“My son was scared on his first day. I was scared. They took my hand and said ”drop him off at the door.” The second day, he said, “Okay, bye Mom!” He was comfortable just that fast!”
Suviki Russell – Parent

“You’re going to be someone whose name we’ll know every day. You’ll make good friends. You’ll get a chance to play with us and pray with us. And you’ll know us well enough to bring us your good ideas.”
Mary Jo Burns – Principal
