À propos de cet audio

This episode features an address by Gerald Vetter, President of Light of Christ Catholic Schools, delivered at an appreciation event, highlighting the school system's tremendous growth, strong values, and future vision.

A Legacy of Faith and Growth

President Vetter begins by welcoming the community to the Our Lady of Victory Chapel and celebrating the foundation of Light of Christ Catholic Schools, noting that the system has grown to serve 1,542 students—a 44% increase in the last 12 years.

The community's support has been instrumental in:

Unifying a dynamic school system.
Building necessary additions, including a 6th and 7th Grade Academy and a new high school.

The Role of the Community

The core mission is to form students with strong moral character and who are intelligent, creative thinkers—qualities the world needs more of. President Vetter offers deep thanks to the key figures who support this mission:

Parents: Thanked as the first teachers of faith and prayer, and for starting their children off on the right path, as echoed by the proverb: "Start children off on the way they should go".
Teachers and Staff: Hailed as the guides on the journey who carry the mission forward daily, supported by the belief that "No Catholic school can be effective without dedicated teachers".
Donors and Benefactors: Recognized as the builders of the future who quietly work behind the scenes to help every child find their voice and purpose.

Looking to the Future: The Next Bold Step

The address calls for continued momentum, emphasizing that the "work for now of building walls has been accomplished", but the mission must continue to focus on:

What is happening between the walls: The spiritual and academic growth of the students.
The New Initiative: The next bold step is the launch of the Light of Christ Catholic Schools Foundation. This initiative aims to plant "seeds today that will bear fruit in decades to come through endowed dollars" to ensure the future success of the schools.

The Endowed FoundationThe foundation is designed to create sustainability and allow the schools to say "yes" to supporting families who need financial aid, better supporting employees, and enhancing curriculum and religious activities.

The address concludes by reminding the community of their 75-year tradition of the annual St. Mary's Carnival (scheduled for January 30th-February 1st) and asking for God's continued blessing on the students and the mission.
