ON PJP
Cross Country’s, Evan Halbert Shows the True
Meaning of Sportsmanship at Competition
The weather was ideal and the course was fast and ready for another cross country
competition on September 24th. Our jaguars and lady jags didn't disappoint - not only
in competition, but in true sportsmanship. PJP extends our utmost pride for the act of
kindness shown by sophomore, Evan Halbert, who stopped racing to assist a fellow
runner that collapsed during the wooded stretch of the race and showed that helping
someone in need surpasses competition. Our hearts are full for what Evan did.
Brooke Becker and Grace Lauricella represented for the lady jags and completed a
steady 3K race against 9 other competing schools. First to cross the nish line for the
jags (and 34th overall) was junior, Daniel Calamari with a
time of 19:01. He was followed close behind by
freshman, Adam Merkle with a 19:11 nish. In nishing

Dear Jaguar Families,
It is always a pleasure to come to work each day and be among my extended FAMILY. The
community of students and staff and parents and alumni, who remind me and one another
what it means to work towards the same goal
As I previously stated to you, following the two week shut down from Ida, we had plenty
‘hurricane shuf ing’ to do around here. Mrs. Doucet, our Academic Council and faculty
were quickly hard at work to redesign the timing and grading cycle of the rst quarter so that
our students receive adequate curriculum. Mrs. Taylor ensured and continues to see that
our staff be amply supported during these past weeks of re-opening and beyond. Multiple
faculty, staff, our mens club, parents, campus ministry teams and students were and are still
“boots on the ground” in support of relief efforts throughout the region, including here on campus.
Recently, and as if dropped from heaven by the power of the Holy Spirit, PJP was quickly blessed with strong, new
employees who are providing us every day with their natural talent, and who have seamlessly transitioned into our
Jaguar family! Two more students, Breanna Sebring and Kate Prude, joined the ACT-30+ Club. Student-athletes are
excelling in their respective sports; and are reminding us all of their Christian leadership, such as: the heroic actions of
Evan Halbert last week during the Cross Country meet, and the re ection and remembrance at our football game for
Mr. Tim. I have had the pleasure of observing as the Retreat team hosted our 8th graders to a full day of re ection and
team-building, the PTC of cers plan and host an informative evening, discovering more plans from our Student Council
to best serve the entire student body and extended community, and yesterday, the school paused in memory of Coach
Charlie Cryer ~ all constant reminders of faith permeating beyond the classrooms here at PJP
WE ARE A FAMILY. It’s a great day to be a Jaguar. Please consider how you can participate in or help extend our
Jaguar spirit to others. The Slidell Life Chain is this Sunday. Hurricane relief efforts for Ascension of Our Lady, Mr.
Triche’s school is ongoing. This October 21st, we will wear pink to raise funds for cancer research. And nally, simple
prayers are needed for so many. Don’t be afraid to become a SAINT.
Sincerely in Christ,
Mrs. Kimberlie Kilroy, Head of School
PJP Honors the Memory of & Pauses in Gratitude for Mr.
Tim Satterlee, Sr.
On Friday, September 24th, the Jags faced strong opposition from Episcopal -
Baton Rouge. Though the team went down in defeat 41-14, 'helmets off' to
George Arata & Robbie Worchel, who scored the
two touchdowns that evening for the Jags. Prior
to kickoff, the community held a moment of
silence to honor the memory of Mr. Tim
Satterlee, Sr. His son, Tim, and his
granddaughters, Remi & Reilly, were on hand for
the reveal of new signage - located under the
north end zone play clock - as well as Mr. Tim's
initials painted at the 50-yard line. Football
athletes will be wearing “TS” stickers on their
helmets in memory of Mr. Tim all season. We
are forever grateful for everything Mr. Tim did
and meant to the PJP community. May he
rest in peace and may the spirit of his service

Do Not Be Afraid to Be a Saint - October Saint of the Month
Contributed by: Mr. Ryan Cossé, Campus Minister
Earlier this year, we mentioned that our theme for the school year is “Do not be afraid to be a saint!” - an interpretation of
a quote from our namesake. We chose this theme because it is important to remember that holiness - sainthood - is not
for the select few, but for every person. Each of us is called to be a saint here in our own time, in our own place, and in
our own way. The way I am called to be a saint is very different than the way that you are called to be a saint. A saint is
not just someone who goes around all day living a perfect life and prays every second of the day, but they are those who
recognize God’s love for them and do their best to seek out that love and to share it with others. This is what we are
calling every member (administration, teachers, staff, students, parents, alumni, etc.) of the PJP family to this year. To be
that saint in our world that so desperately needs it.
Each month we will name a Saint of the Month to help emphasize our theme and to give examples of men and women who have gone before us
and shown us one way of being a saint. This saint will be discussed throughout the month in our daily routine. I chose some Saints that are well
known and others that may be the first time you are hearing their name. Again, I wanted to show as many different paths to sainthood as I can.
With that being said, we finally are able to name our first Saint of the Month after two months of interruption and chaos. October’s Saint of the
Month was difficult to choose because October offers us many great Saints to remember, including our own Saint John Paul II. Nevertheless, after
much prayer, the Saint I chose to name is Blessed Carlo Acutis. Carlo
Acutis was beatified only in October of last year and is on his way to
becoming a Saint of the Church. However, this does not make his
example and story any less important for us.
Carlo Acutis was born in 1991 to a non-practicing Catholic family. He
grew up like any other millennial boy who loved video games, the
internet, comic books, and playing soccer. Carlo died at 15 years old
after a short battle with leukemia. On first appearance, he would not be
what you would expect a saint to look like. However, from a very young
age and despite his family’s own lack of faith, Carlo had a devout
relationship with God and sought to share his faith with others. He was
known for using social media to share his faith and miracles, his deep
love for the Eucharist, serving the poor, and bringing others, especially
his own family, closer to God.
One of his life mottos was “All people are born as originals, but
most die as photocopies.” This is important for all of us to remember
that God created each of us with our own unique personalities and
gifts, and unfortunately, many of us fail to fully become that person God
created us to be. Hopefully, Blessed Carlo Acutis’ example is one that
can inspire us to boldly live out our faith, to remember our true purpose
here on Earth, and to take those things we love and use them to
spread God’s love. We celebrate his first feast day this year on October
12 - the anniversary of his death.
From the desk of College Counselor, Mr. Danny Clavier -
We are excited to host College Night at PJP on Tuesday, October 5th from 7:00 - 8:00 pm. All students are invited and
their parents are welcome. This is a great opportunity for our Juniors and Seniors to meet with some of the regional
