Education for Tomorrow, Faith for a Lifetime. June 13, 2018

From the Principal

Dear St. Paul School Families

The Importance of the Life of One Child is

the most significant goal of a teacher’s

life!!!

The 2017-2018 school year is coming to a close.

The 8th

graders graduated on Friday June 8th

. It was

a wonderful event. The students were filled with joy

and a sense of accomplishment for all that they have

achieved and mastered. Their parents sat with great

smiles but also tears of happiness and joy, while

wondering how did those 9 years go by so fast and

where did the time go? Standing before us all were

students ready to move on to their next life chapter

of high school.

Our graduates walk away from St. Paul School with

so much more than an education--the love for their

family, friends and themselves. They’ve gained a

respect for the environment and the society that they

live in, the ability to explore using their knowledge

and talents. And gained love for their Roman

Catholic Faith and a life that will have Jesus Christ

as a central figure to who they are and what God has

in store for them. The St. Paul School community is

a reservoir of the Holy Spirit. The 8th

grade

graduates have left an impression on the community

of St. Paul School and on the hearts and souls of the

teachers, faculty and staff. God Bless.

The Preschool and Kindergarten students are ready

to move forward in their own graduation

ceremonies. It is a time to look at those students and

think just how fast life seems to move by and the

importance to take time and celebrate their

accomplishments. Their ceremonies took place this

morning, June 13th

. It is a wonderful and breath-

taking experience as these little children grow into

young men and women, each of them being

changed physically, academically and spiritually. It

is humbling to see the greatness of God at work in

the students. To see their growth and development

and to know each and every one of them is truly a

gift from God.

The Parish of Katherine Drexel and the St. Paul

School Community is a beacon of faith, hope and

love to the people of Burlington County. This

beacon helps to foster growth and guide others to a

call to social justice Christian virtues. To the PTA,

parents, teachers, staff, the Burlington City and the

St. Katharine Drexel Parish communities, thank you

for your support and help making the St. Paul

School environment sparkle with faith, hope and

love.

God Bless,

Deacon Joseph Rafferty, Principal
