CONGRATULATIONS to Suzanne Casey from Our Lady of Good Counsel School in Moorestown, NJ! On December 15, 2020, Suzanne was named the New Jersey Nonpublic Teacher of the Year. This is such a great honor for Suzanne, for Our Lady of Good Counsel School, and for the Diocese of Trenton.
Even a pandemic won't keep Catholic Schools down. On October 15th, students in all of the schools in the Diocese of Trenton had the opportunity to celebrate a different type of Mass for Catholic Schools. The Mass was recorded with Bishop O'Connell, Fr. Leandro Dela Cruz, Fr. Carlo Calisin, and the members of the Department of Catholic Schools. All schools were asked to set aside some time in the day to view the Mass and celebrate Catholic schools virtually. After Mass, Dr. Vincent de Paul Schmidt, Superintendent of Catholic Schools, had a chance to speak to all of the school communities in the Diocese for the first time. Some traditions are worth keeping-even in a pandemic-and the Mass for Catholic Schools is one of them.
Come In... We're OPEN!
St. Gregory the Great Academy in Hamilton opened its doors to grades five to eight on August 27, 2020. Dr. Jason Briggs, Principal, gave a warm welcome to the students and Fr. Michael Hall, Pastor, was on hand to offer a joyful prayer as the school year officially began. Staff from Penn Medicine were available to help parents complete the questionnaire and to take the students' temperatures before entering the building. Excitement filled the air as students were called into the building. All the best to all of our schools as the new school year begins!
