“A NEW BEGINNING”
New beginnings always present new opportunities. As we begin the new school year 2012-2013, we have amazing opportunities before us. Not only are the obvious opportunities out there before us: new things to learn; new friends to make; new ways to grow. These are pretty much true every year in every school. But this year presents some special opportunities. This year begins a year of opportunity to grow technologically here at St. Bernard’s. Most are probably aware by now that we are one of ‘6’ sites that have been chosen to grow with new technology and become a very ‘up-to-date’ educational site. This is truly preparing our youth for the future! This is new opportunity also for me as the new Pastor of the parish and school. What an exciting adventure to begin a new pastoral experience with this wonderful parish and school. I hope our experiences together with be filled with grace and blessings and lots of joy – “the infallible sign of the presence of God”. Welcome back to the old-timers. Welcome to the new members of our school community. May we be blessed by one another as we form this community of faith, love and learning!
Fr. Perry D. Leiker
