With Thanksgiving around the corner, allow me to take a moment to thank you all for giving your child the gift of Sacred Heart education. I know that for many of you, it is a conscious lifestyle choice and financial sacrifice to do so. Yet, as I said at the General PCC meeting and as I say to all who inquire, the choices and sacrifices you make to provide your child with this gift, not only girds your child with a sound value system and moral compass, but, you provide the world with men and women of courage, confidence and compassion who, by their lives and choices, reveal the Heart of Christ and thus, the Face of God! THANK YOU for doing so!
With deep gratitude for each and every one of you!
