A message from our Principal
Thank you all for your cooperation with the delayed start of school this morning.
We try not to take chances regarding the winter weather and road conditions in our area.
Our primary method of communication did not work properly as our Parent Alert feature in RenWeb did not send the voice and text messages in a timely manner.
Please know that we follow the lead of Fort Worth ISD and whatever decision they make, we follow.
Jesus was forty days old when Joseph and Mary presented him at the Temple. Simeon, a very devout man, recognized Jesus as the Messiah. Anna, an old woman and a prophet, was also in the Temple. She also recognized that Jesus is the Redeemer of Israel. He is the Redeemer of all of the world and taught us that God loves us and wants us to love one another.
The weekend of Open House (January 27 & 28), Bishop Olson has directed a second collection at all parishes in our diocese for Catholic School Tuition Assistance. May God reach the heart of all parishioners across the diocese by supporting Catholic School Education. Our world needs Catholic Schools more than ever.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve
