Dear Sisters and Brothers, A French poet once said that every time we say goodbye, we die a little. Then I must ve died a little because I ve been saying my goodbyes to you since April. Some of you may already be asking, when is this guy really leaving? Well, this is my last weekend of ministry here at St. Martin s, for sure this time. Although I m looking forward to my ministry in the Philippines, I will certainly miss all of you. Once again, thank you all for your kindness, generosity and charity. Your new pastor, Fr. Elmer Mandac, will take good care f you when he comes back from his sabbatical leave on October 1. In the interim, Fr. Danny, Fr. Pedro and Fr. Uche will take care of most of the sacramental needs of our parish. Fr. Jim and Fr. Sessions will also be helping. I am very grateful to all of them. I would now like to quote St. Paul s parting words in Acts 20:32, when he said goodbye to the people in Miletus: And now I commend you to God and to that gracious word of his that can build you up and give you the inheritance among all who are consecrated. I will always remember you in my prayers. Please keep me in yours. God willing, we ll see each other again. Peace and blessings, Fr.

ST. MARTIN OF TOURS ACADEMY June 3, 2018 Graduation at SMA! As we near the time for graduation, I cannot help reflecting on the tremendous advantage our graduating students have upon entering high school. The education they have received at St. Martin of Tours Academy, both academically and spiritually, is exceptional and of the highest quality. The Pilon Workshop Way system of education, their daily religious instruction and the teaching of both academic and life skills have prepared them well for their future goals. The teachers, staff and I are extremely proud of the Class of 2018, and we wish them much success in high school and beyond. When we say good-bye to the Class of 2018 we are also saying good-bye to some of the parents of our graduates who will no longer have children in the school. The following are also graduating and we want them to know we will miss them as parents in our school community: Elena & Michael Bertino, Pamela & Charles Brock, Erin & David Bushey, Terri & Chris Dimolios, Emily & Thomas Gould, Darlene & Steve Hastings, Theresa & Brad Hicks, Yazmin & Craig Holton, Lucila & Andrew Kahl, Kimberly & Shayne Kirkpatrick, Tawnya & Thomas Macchiarella, Kathleen & Chuck Oakey, Nikki & Jaime Paredes, Angelina Destephanis, Renee & Ramon Ruiz, Leonora & Chris Brown, Chloe Hodge & Joshua Zane. In addition to offering congratulations to the Class of 2018, I say congratulations to each parent and teacher who has instructed, guided, influenced and helped them to be better people. When the foundation is strong, the chances for success increase dramatically. I personally see this when our alums visit us and tell of their accomplishments or when a parent calls and is bursting with pride because their child has been honored in high school or college. You are all invited to the Graduation Mass next Friday, June 8th at 3pm to celebrate the Class of 2018. -Toni Dimuzio, Principal Class of 2018 Angelina Bertino, Carter Brashear, Eva Brock, Taylor Bushey, Anisa Castillo, Christopher Dimolios, Alexandria Freeman, Vincent Friend, Jesus Frutos, Grace Gadler, Thomas Gould, Kelly Hastings, Logan Hicks, Cruz Holton, Joaquin Iagmin, Morgan Kahl, Angus Kirkpatrick, Jeremy Macchiarella, Matthew Macchiarella, Nicholas Macchiarella, Shoichi McCarter, Presley McMahon, Seth Morales, Rhiannon Oakey, Helena Paredes, Jennalyn Robeniol, Carlo Ruiz, Santiago Simonovis Brown, Jade Zane Page 7
