Principal's Graduation Message

Dear Friends and Families,
The vehement wind of the Holy Ghost has descended upon us again as we near the end of Paschal tide and of the academic year. For our graduates, this step forward in their life is a huge leap – they will enter into the world as adults. And this world will try to crush them. We are confident though, that the formation that they have received has been deep enough to preserve them, rather to strengthen them against the powers of darkness, just as the apostles were filled with the Spirit to withstand and to overcome the world. These young people have been formed by an interior principle, not just by the material addition of factual knowledge.
Our weapons are not of the flesh, but rather of the spirit. Though we may be weak, we can overcome all in Him who strengthens us. May we all be inspired to love and to live in the Spirit of this season, lifting our gaze to our heavenly Father. Our victory is absolutely certain no matter what the obstacles from without or even from within our own poor hearts. He will not leave us orphans!
With my blessing as we close out this year, and our prayers as always for you all.
In Christ,
Fr. Christopher Pedersen, Principal
