Peter s Pence Collection June 25/26 Pope Francis calls us during this Year of Mercy to open our eyes and see the misery of the world and let us recognize that we are compelled to heed their cry for help! Peter s Pence is an annual collection uniting us with the Holy See to provide the Holy Father with the means to respond to suffering caused by war, natural disaster and religious persecution. This year, we can respond as witnesses of charity to the cries of our brothers and sisters by giving as generously as we are able.

Lumen Christi Catholic Community Highland Catholic School News Dear Parishioners and Highland Catholic School Supporters, School year 2015-16 is one for the books! Highland Catholic School welcomed 47 new kindergartners and 34 transfer students from Grades 1-8. A few blessing to share: Preschool Network The Highland Catholic Preschool was recognized as a leader in the Archdiocesan by the Catholic Schools Center of Excellence. Our Preschool Director, Kassy Kenney, is now serving as a consultant to the newly organized Preschool Network. The staff and programming are being recognized for their best practices and extraordinary care of young people. Facilities Summer construction has already started in the second floor classrooms and lower level Room 1 and 2 with the installation of suspended ceilings and new LED lighting. Thanks to parishioner, Jon Kirkhoff, for helping us with the fixtures. Stop in and see the upgrade! Testing This school year, Highland Catholic School made the move to the NWEA MAP tests for Grades 2-8 in Mathematics, Reading and Language Arts. These online tests adjust for students abilities and will provide excellent data for improving achievement. Curriculum The Curriculum Review Cycle this year was in the area of Mathematics. The Review Committee worked to review Standards, best practices and textbook adoption. After eight years, we bid farewell to our fabulous middle school math teacher, Mrs. Abby Mallory, who will be home with her two darling girls. Mrs. Mallory piloted a flipped classroom model, which was successful with students and parents. Graduates Highland Catholic School launched 50 graduates onto the world of high school. Students are attending: Hill-Murray (1), Totino-Grace (2), Cretin-Derham Hall (32), DeLaSalle (5), St. Thomas Academy (1), Minnehaha Academy (1), St. Paul Academy (1), Highland Park Senior High (4), Sibley High School (1) and Eagan High School (1).

Congratulations to Seniors: Maddie Kehoe, Emily Kinne, Henry Johnson, Tom Weiss, and Katherine Tennis for your exceptional academic success. Congrats to parishioner, D.J. Corrigan, too. New Organizational Structure Highland Catholic School has benefitted from the new organizational structure at Lumen Christi Catholic Community that allows all of the various councils to come together once a month for a meal, general meeting and working session. I would like to thank our School Ministry Council Members for their leadership this year and going forward. We are fortunate to have your expertise at the table. Grants It was a busy year with grant writing and Highland Catholic School was the recipient of three generous grants: Schulze Family Preschool Grant, PeaceMaker Minnesota Grant and a Ramsey County Recycling Grant. These funds will enhance our Preschool, Olweus SuperFriends Program and school-wide recycling. Thanks for your continued support of our school program. I love coming to school everyday.
