CYSL had their kick-off Mass on Saturday with Bishop Bill. Starting this season, there will no longer be Sunday games so that everyone has the time to attend Mass and spend time with their families!

[Rising Tide @flrisingtide]

One year ago today, moments after his ordination as Bishop of the @pt_diocese , @BishopWack looked at the hundreds of #catholicschool students and said, "Let no one ever tell you that you are the future of the Church. You are the now."

Thank you, Bishop Bill. We are so grateful.

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption, when 'the world's first love' was assumed, body and spirit, into the Eternal Kingdom. May we seek her guidance, purity and peace today and always.

We are blessed to work with so many #catholicschool leaders who put their full hearts into their ministry. Principal Vikki Delgado is no exception - her passion, joy and zeal are contagious. To know her is to love her and all that is @SVF_Vikings !!

Catholic schools aren't just about academics. Our teachers serve a much higher purpose: the formation of souls. Today on the blog, @renstoeckle reflects on life lessons from Mrs. Van Pelt's high school math class at @holynamestpa

Happy Feast of the Transfiguration!

May we be filled with the joy and awe of St. Peter today as we ask Christ to transform our hearts for Him. "Rabbi, it is good that we are here!"

Happy Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel!

Here's a throw back to one of our favorite Carmelites, the ever zealous Sr Margaret Ann of @ACCHS_Bulldogs who goes above and beyond to be the hands of Christ, even when it requires a chain saw :)

Pope Francis reminds us to pray for our pastors & priests this month. We especially lift up our school pastors & chaplains who work to make our Catholic schools places of faith.

Tag your school's priest in the comments so he knows you're praying for him! https://t.co/5KmostjaMl
