I am pleased to let you know that Jeannine Phillips and Martha DePaola have accepted the offer to become our new Directors of Religious Education!! For several years they have been the Coordinators of Religious Education Grades 1-5 in our collaborative. Over the past year and half since my arrival, I have been amazed by the degree of flexibility and inventiveness that they have brought to the program -- especially during the past very unique and challenging two years. Families and students have all benefited from their degree of dedication -- demonstrated in a variety of ways. As they have labored to bring Christ to our young students grades 1-5 over the past years through their nurturing of an authentic relationship with Our Lord, they will continue to build upon and augment their knowledge and skills with additionally overseeing and instructing our students grades 6-12. Please join me in congratulating Martha and Jeannine, our two new DRE's!!!!! We are blessed to have them. Father Blaney
