In the Spotlight

Notre Dame High School and the Diocese of Trenton suffered a great loss on June 21, 2021. The hearts of the school community were broken as they learned the sad news that their beloved coach John McKenna had been called back to God's Kingdom. John was an exceptional husband, father, teacher, coach, and person. A man of great faith, he cared about the well-being and success of every student and colleague at Notre Dame High School. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.



Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.

During Teacher Appreciation Week, the PTA and students of St. Paul School in Burlington decided to thank the "teacher of teachers," Principal Bill Robbins. Now, Mr. Robbins has been known to be a pretty dapper dresser. To reflect this, the students made ties listing all the positive qualities that Mr. Robbins exhibits each day at St. Paul School.
Lookin' good, Mr. Robbins!

Recently, Colin T. and his father accepted a generous donation to Special Olympics Area 06 from 3rd grade student Ella. The donation came from the proceeds for the Rock Your Socks event which celebrated World Down Syndrome Day. Keep on rockin', St. Dominic School.

Congratulations, Dr. Briggs, our own Frontline Hero!

Dr. Jason Briggs, Principal of St. Gregory the Great Academy in Hamilton, was nominated to be a Frontline Hero and to have his image emblazoned on a banner to hang outside Citizens Bank Park for the Opening Day festivities of the Philadelphia Phillies. The final heroes were selected from about 500 nominations that were submitted by fans in February. Please see the article about the Frontline Heroes, the video which was submitted to nominate Dr. Briggs, and the banners that are being displayed. Dr. Briggs knocked it out of the park in responding to the pandemic.

Two of our students share their thoughts for the Annunciation Novena.




During Respect Life Week, the students of the diocesan and private Catholic high schools throughout the four counties collected essentials for newborn children and their mothers who are in need. God bless those moms for CHOOSING LIFE. We are strongest when we work together and this collection was a tremendous success thanks to the students, parents, and faculty members in our high schools.
