Dear Friends of Carmel Mission,
How does one describe the sound of joy and happiness, the sound of energy and exuberance, the sound of friendship and fun?
For me, when our Junipero Serra School is back from the summer break, and the students gather in the playground, their voices describe all of the above, and more…
Our wonderful school, the school with a Mission, is located in a beautiful place, an historic place, a sacred place. We have not spared any effort to make that place as safe and secure as possible.
Students at our school receive a Catholic education, which focuses on the development of the whole person, body, mind and spirit. They learn about the greatest teacher who ever lived, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. They not only learn about Him, but they develop a relationship with Him, which has a huge influence on their behavior.
We are truly blessed with our teachers, who are among the most dedicated teachers you will find anywhere. We are also blessed with our new Principal, Mr. Henderson, who has already shared some of his exciting plans with our parents, our teachers and our parishioners. He realizes that our school is a good news story that needs to be told more often and to more people. He has already made his own the saying associated with the first teacher in this sacred place – St. Junipero Serra
“Always forward, never back”.
Our school depends on the support of people like you. Without your faith in Catholic education and your willingness to donate to that great cause, we would not be able to continue. Please feel free to contact either Mr. Henderson or myself to learn more about our wonderful school.
May those joyful playground sounds echo in our hearts and minds, and may we say a prayer of gratitude to God for giving us all those people in our lives who taught us well.
Blessings,
Fr. Paul
