“Proclaim the Gospel at all times.  When necessary use words.” – attributed to St. Francis of Assisi

Greetings! 

As I type this “blog” in my new office, I am struck by how very blessed I am to be here and to have the opportunity to serve the community of All Saints Academy – St. Rose Philippine Campus as its new principal.  After only a few weeks it is apparent that this is a very special place.  The teachers and people who I have already met have been most welcoming and the campus is beautiful.  As he transitioned out of this position, Ken shared with me just how wonderful are the teachers, parents, and students of this school.  I can tell already that he was right.  I look forward to partnering with you, the teachers and staff, and your children in their development over the year and years to come. 

This year the focus of all three ASA campuses will be on living the beatitudes – “Bee-attitudes.”  Each month we as a community will focus on one of the eight beatitudes and work on incorporating them into our daily lives, both at school and in our homes.  I will keep you informed about the month’s focus as well as other issues in my weekly newsletter.  Please if you ever have suggestions, questions, or concerns do not hesitate to reach out to me. 

Thank you for entrusting us with your children.  We know that they are the most important people in your lives and we also want only the best for them.  I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer and we will see you soon.

Peace,

Mark Gilligan, Ph.D.

Principal, All Saints Academy –St. Rose Philippine Campus
