Tabar Talks
Hello families and friends of Corpus Christi Academy. As we begin to prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, it is important to remember what it is all about, GIVING THANKS! I would like to start off with a huge THANK YOU to Renee Boerner and everyone that made our Mission: Possible. It truly would not have been possible without all of the volunteer hours, effort, and donations.
Another THANK YOU goes out to the amazing faculty and staff at Corpus Christi Academy for their dedication and devotion to their very important vocation, and also dealing with my crazy schedules, everyone at CCA epitomizes true flexibility, THANK YOU! All of our families and friends deserve a THANK YOU for their support of the school, our community, and our parishes.
A tremendous THANK YOU also is sent to the Phillip H. and Jane G. Geier Fund at the Cleveland Foundation for a very sizable grant to support Corpus Christi Academy.
Lastly, to anyone and everyone that is a part of “The Academy” family I want to issue a very personal and sincere THANK YOU for welcoming and embracing me into this amazing and beautiful fellowship that is CORPUS CHRISTI ACADEMY.
In closing, it is so very important to remember that as a community we need to support each other in all ways and at all times. Often we get caught up in our individualistic way of life and we lose track of those around us. It is integral to our Catholic faith, our Christian beliefs, and our foundation as human beings that we support, respect, and treat with dignity EVERYONE, every day and all the time, in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,
Mr. Matthew Tabar | CCA Principal
