Circle of Friends, Revisited | |
| Last fall, on the Feast Day of our patron saint, St. Vincent dePaul, Sr. Dianne, a Sister of Charity, visited our community and touched our hearts with stories of hope and need in Haiti.
Sr. Jeanne recently heard from Sr. Dianne. Excerpts from her letter follow: As a result of the pandemic and having our administrative offices closed for 4 months, it took us a while to determine the amount of money raised in the Circle of Friends campaign. But, the results are in. Sr. Dianne and I are thrilled to let you know that, cumulatively, the five schools raised over $15,000. Given that schools were also closed for 4 months because of the pandemic, this is an amazing accomplishment. Our sincerest and heartfelt thanks to each of you, your students and faculty, its families, and all those who participated in the campaign. We are sending you a copy of our new school video. Though it is more than a year ago that we broke ground, we are pleased to report that the construction has finally been completed. The wait was worth it. The school is beautiful. The teachers are thrilled to have its own classrooms complete with books and a blackboard. The children all feel very special having its own desk and set of school supplies. And the parents are proud to send its children to the only school in the area that has a computer lab, thanks to Sr. Noreen; an agricultural program, thanks to a grant from Missionary Agricultural Resource Services; and a school wellness program, thanks to a grant from Coastal Connection.The new school is a huge accomplishment for the Sisters of Charity and its Haiti Ministry. But our success was dependent on the generosity of so many individual donors and contributors to the Circle of Friends campaign including your schools. We hope that you will share in our excitement and success because each of you has earned it. Praying that all of you have had a safe reopening and that you and your students remain well and healthy throughout the school year.
Peace and Blessings, |

A Note from Dr. Stickles | A Note from Mr. Petrocelli |

Dear Friends of DePaul Catholic,
Father Jared Brogan, DePaul�s new president, has advised Bishop Kevin Sweeney that, for personal reasons, he cannot continue to serve as head of the school. While he�s been on Alps Road but a short time, he�s made friends, and he�ll be missed. I know you join me in wishing him well. Given my recent experience as head of the school, Bishop Sweeney has asked me to step in as president once again, on an interim basis, pending the appointment of a permanent successor to Father Brogan. As many of you know, I spent last spring in three hospitals with a bad case of COVID-19. With God�s grace I survived, and my recovery, while yet ongoing, has progressed to the point that I am able to accept the Bishop�s invitation. I�m happy to do so. Bishop Sweeney and Superintendent Mary Baier have assured our Board of Trustees (chaired by Ken Marshall, �83) that the selection of a new president for DePaul will receive its immediate attention. While there�s no telling exactly how long that process will take, we can be sure that it will proceed (to borrow a phrase from the Supreme Court) � with all deliberate speed.� In the meantime, we will go forward as planned. Instruction begins next week. Principal Russell Petrocelli and his team have worked very hard over the summer to ensure that we can do so. With God�s help, we will have yet another wonderful year. St Vincent DePaul, pray for us! Dr. Robert Stickles, Ed.D., J.D.President |
Dear DePaul Catholic Community:
As we approach September 1st, the opening of school is just over a week away. So much has changed since March 13, 2020 but, we look forward to a return to in-school instruction and the start of the school year. Please be assured that we continue to finish the summer strong as we put the final touches on all of the safety protocols that we have planned for that will help safeguard our students and staff when school opens on September 8. Will there be changes, yes... but our core of faculty and administrators are ready to hit the ground running when the students return. Nothing is more important to us than maintaining a safe school environment. I have always opened every school year with the belief that "Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes ". This will be a year of change but, as always, Spartans rise up to meet and overcome any challenges. Continue to be safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.
For the entire DePaul Catholic Community, |
