It's What's On the Outside That Counts

An anonymous donor helped "gear up" our students with the gift of fleece jackets for all -- each complete with the embroidered school seal and student's name. The jackets, distributed today, were a big hit with students.

Earlier in the day, a woman came to the school wanting to see the Chapel. A longtime supporter of the dream of Catholic high school education on Cape Cod, she told me that, though her own son is now out of high school, she is deeply gratified to see this kind of education available for Cape families and has been looking forward to the opportunity to visit the Chapel and pray for our school. I was glad to meet this longtime supporter of our school.

For me, these two events are connected, and not just because they happened an hour apart. The donor's free fleece and our longtime supporter's first steps in the building tell me that this school carries the hopes and dreams of many and receives the support and prayers of many. We, the first students and staff, are not alone. We are part of something larger -- and today's gift/visit shows us the care of the wider community. It was a good day.
