A bishop's coat of arms tells his faith story, uniting shepherd and flock. You may recognize the @NY_Arch windmill. The other half is my story. Just as these halves join on one shield, I look forward to walking this journey with you in faith.

Today, we honor our beloved patron saint, St. Raymond Nonnatus, whose life embodies our motto: "Teaching Goodness, Knowledge, Discipline." As we begin this new school year, we are inspired to follow in the footsteps of St. Raymond.

Pope Leo XIV explains his choice of name:

"... I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour."

Holy Thursday, also known as Maundy Thursday, marks the beginning of the Easter Triduum and commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with His disciples. This day is rich in symbolism and meaning, and it serves as a powerful reminder of the values we hold.
