There is still much more work to do. On the weekend of June 6-7th, the SMOS community will come together to honor survivors and build community with those working to end gun violence during Wear Orange Weekend.
I don’t know about you but I love a good mystery. So it is no wonder that the mystery of the Holy Trinity has been grappled with from the Council of Nicea to theologians from Augustine and Aquinas, to LaCugna and Downey.
We are officially entering our last week of the school year. We have so much to be thankful for as we finish up the 2025/2026 school year.
On M*A*S*H, Charles Emerson Winchester once famously said, “I do one thing at a time, I do it very well, and then I move on.” May I suggest that we all make sure that, at every liturgy, the fraction rite doesn’t become a side note to a lingering sign of peace?

Yet before He ascended, Jesus did not leave them abandoned. As He departed, “He raised His hands and blessed them.”
This week, I would like to highlight our eighth-grade students as they begin their last week of school at St. Margaret of Scotland.
These last weeks of the Easter season provide us with a second Advent–a time of hope-filled waiting. This time, instead of anticipating the birth of Christ into the world, we await the birth of the Holy Spirit in and through us.
May is full of so many wonderful events: field day, May Crowning, eighth-grade celebrations, Field Day, and so much more. I ask that you keep the school community in your prayers as we work towards the end of the school year.
To recognize the Word of God, present in the midst of so many false voices, we need to stop, listen carefully, and then pray for wisdom. Upon recognizing the voice of the true shepherd, we can follow with confidence, not feeling sheepish at all.
This week, I ask that you pray in a special way for our second-grade students who will be participating in their first communion on May 3rd.
If I’m going to be a sheep that follows the voice of my shepherd, I have to know what that voice sounds like. I have to know it well enough that I can tell the difference between His voice, and the voice of others.
Thanks to everyone who helped with this year’s Lenten Service Project at School. Also, welcome to our new principal, Dr. Angie Thomas!
What is next? This question is on repeat in my head – most especially in the Spring. Things end, new things arise, there are changes, but our lives don’t just stop there.
This past week, our seventh-grade students received the Sacrament of Confirmation. Please join me in congratulating them and their Catechists for all their hard work. We continue to pray for them and their faith journeys.

Happy Easter! I have been proud of our students this Lent as they participated in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
From my own life, I have come to know that God is revealing Himself constantly – in every moment – if we choose to look.
