From the Pastor’s Desk:      :

Not everything goes as planned. This past week January 31 thru February 4 we celebrated, or tried to celebrate across our country,
National Catholic Schools Week, a week set aside by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to celebrate and recognize all
that our Catholic Schools provide. The theme this year was Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Excellence and Service. Our
schools are an added value for our nation. The purpose of a Catholic School is to integrate Catholic, Christian teachings and values
into every aspect of the educational process. Thus, our young people’s education is a journey of faith; it’s not just a standard
education, but one of life-long Catholic teachings and values. Service is another important aspect. The many people in our parishes
that give of their time to minister to the needs of others, they are participating in service. During the school day and after hours, our
Catholic Schools are teaching different types of service. The Catholic School also provides an excellent academic education to help
young people reach their God-given potential and to be responsible citizens. Our Catholic Schools exist to provide an education that
goes beyond preparation for a secular life. It is an education that prepares students for a Christian life. Catholic Schools ASSIST
parents in the education and religious formation of their sons and daughters.
Within the Catholic School, whether a student is Catholic or non-Catholic, each student is required to participate in the religious
education program. The religious education program presents to the student an authentic statement of the teachings and practices of
the Catholic Church. Students are also required to attend prayer services and Mass. Having been a teacher for many years at Notre
Dame High School, I would tell parents, “I do not test the faith of your sons/daughters; I test their knowledge of the Catholic Faith!”
Within a Catholic School, education of our faith is important. I want students to know why we celebrate, how we celebrate and not
just give an answer, “we always do it that way!”
Although each school is different, the curriculum seeks to develop the student’s highest potential through a teaching/learning process
that promotes Language Arts, English, Mathematics, Technology, Science, Social Studies, Fine Arts, Foreign Language, and Physical
Education. In recent years, the curriculum has also grown to include the development of the thinking skills: research, critical thinking
and problem solving, and also analyzing and evaluating–all working together, many times using the latest in technology. Students
are also urged to help others by “giving back to the community,” whether it is within parishes or the community in which they live.
I want to thank every parishioner for their prayers and financial support, which makes it possible for the Springfield Catholic School
System to provide a quality, Catholic Education to any Catholic student.

                  who seeks his strength in flesh,      how can some among you say there is no resurrection
                  whose heart turns away from the       of the dead?
                        LORD.                           If the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been

        He is like a barren bush in the desert          and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain;
                  that enjoys no change of season,      you are still in your sins.

                  a salt and empty earth.               perished.
        Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,      If for this life only we have hoped in Christ,
                  whose hope is the LORD.               we are the most pitiable people of all.
        He is like a tree planted beside the            But now Christ has been raised from the dead,

                  but still bears fruit.                Jesus came down with the Twelve
                                                        and stood on a stretch of level ground
