Our Catholic schools recently welcomed more than 5,400 students for the new academic year. As superintendent, I am excited to be a part of another great school year, and I look forward to seeing how the Holy Spirit will move and work in and through our school communities. Our theme for the 2023-2024 school year, “Follow me as I follow Christ,” points to the core of our mission in Catholic education, to bring people to Christ and Christ to people. As we begin another year, we are also invited to reflect on how Catholic schools continue responding to the great commission of Jesus — to go and make disciples.
