That was the word on the street last week when the priest secretary to the Bishop and Director of the Office of Episcopal Ceremonies (aka master of ceremonies), Fr. Ralph, agreed to lead our retreat. Monsignor could not make it, and when I explained my topic at a parish meeting, the resounding response was, "Ask Fr. Ralph!" Fr. Ralph has a degree in political science from USF; then he entered the Seminary where he earned a master's in Philosophy. He then continued his education from 2015-2020 at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, where he earned degrees in Sacred and Moral Theology. I think he is ready to tackle my topic! My topic connects our school theme, the charism of St. Stephen, and Catholic Intellectual Tradition. It will be great!
To learn more about Fr. Ralph and what a priest secretary does, watch this brief YouTube video of Fr. Ralph and Bishop Parkes https://youtu.be/ZeWxm5UG-YM?si=kBvmANzY6sNmMRsM (may have to copy/paste).
Not much happening this week. Teachers, if you have not submitted your field trip requests yet, I suggest you get them in soon. The younger grades are draining the account (yay for them!), but actually it's because we want to get the buses scheduled asap. Also, all CIPA work must be completed by Sept. 25, when it will be presented to the faculty. Some of you still have work to do in the ARCA. Thank you for a productive day on Friday afternoon.
Have a great week!
