2 BANNER DAY AT SACRED HEART! Thursday, September 4 th was really what I would call a Banner Day at Sacred Heart School. On that very hot morning we received a visit from two special dignitaries - Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, and Mayor Bill DeBlasio, the Mayor of New York City! Now the reason for the visits of both the Cardinal and Mayor was to celebrate the opening of three new classes of Universal Pre-K here at Sacred Heart School with fifty-four students in total. Mayor DeBlasio as you might have read, is a big proponent of the Universal Pre-K Program throughout the city and has enlisted the support of religious schools to help in that endeavor. The Mayor thanked the Cardinal for being open to this new program and in his remarks he mentioned that Sacred Heart is really like a microcosm of schools across the city with every kind of child learning together. He complimented the teachers and said they were doing a great job. Since Cardinal Dolan arrived first at about 10:30, I was able to take him for a tour of the main school. He was very impressed with everything. I knocked on the door of our second grade, and Ms. Pat McKee greeted us. For those of you who don t know her, Ms. McKee has been teaching at Sacred Heart for 39 years and really is an institution in the school. The Cardinal expressed an interest in the second graders and what they were studying. He reminded them that they would be making their Holy Communion this year and thus it was a very important year for them. The Cardinal was so happy and pleased to be among the youngsters that he wasn t hurried at all but took his time, looked at the kid s artwork and then visited the auditorium. At the end of the morning, he expressed real satisfaction at all the good that is being done here at Sacred Heart School and whispered to me, I might even make you a Monsignor! I said, Well fine - but tell the Pope to change his new rules on that! Seriously though, Sacred Heart School is such a great place because of so many wonderful people. First of all, our Principal, Mrs. Evelyn Lacagnino is extremely dedicated and works so very hard to make sure that the school runs smoothly and effectively. She coordinates a wonderful staff of lay teachers, who do a marvelous job in educating our youngsters day in and day out! Sacred Heart School really is like a big family where everyone knows each other. It is a friendly and welcoming place and I was so happy that the Cardinal and Mayor DeBlasio were able to see that first hand. They discovered for the first time what I have known for years - that our school and parish is one of the best on the Island. At the start of a new school year, I would ask you to keep all the students of the school in your special prayers. We should always remember that our young people are the hope of tomorrow - the hope of the Church and our country - they are our most precious asset! Thanks Cardinal Dolan and Mayor DeBlasio for the visit and your praise! Sincerely in Christ, Father Jerome DID YOU ATTEND ST. PETER S HIGH SCHOOL?
