-------------------------------------- CONSTRUCTION UPDATE Even though we have been experiencing an unusually large amount of rainfall for this time of year, completion of the Msgr. John N. Phuc Education Center is progressing quite well. The 1st floor interior spaces are now defined with walls representing 7 new technologically-advanced classrooms, administrative offices & a teachers’ lounge. As weather permits, construction continues on the 66 space parking lot with sub-surface drainage, lighting & landscaping along with the bus/carpool canopy and covered archways to the gym and main entrance to the Education Center. You might have also noticed we are replacing the canopy in front of the Fatima Building that has been deteriorating for many years. Its construction will match that of the canopy in front of the gym and will balance the appearance of the front campus. Thank you for your patience and understanding of the inconveniences of progress. May God bless all who participated in this huge endeavor. (Campaign & Building Committees, contributors, faculty & staff, etc.)

“TAKE MY HAND NOT MY LIFE!” St. Charles Borromeo Fountain of Youth members carried this banner as they joined over 300,000 people from around the country in Washington, DC for the 37th Annual March For Life. Thirty-seven years ago the Supreme Court voted in favor of the Roe v. Wade Bill to legalize abortion. The March which starts at the National Mall and passes in front of the Supreme Court Building is a real eye-opener for our legislature that this is wrong; abortion is murder and it is up to them to save our babies. The trip included participating in the Mass For Life at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception where more than 1200 clergy processed in the church for over 45 minutes. The students had the opportunity to tour the White House, the Capital, the National Monuments, the Holocaust Museum, the Smithsonian Institute and its museums, the Arlington Cemetery, they went to the top of the Washington Monument, visited Georgetown and attended a special Mass for the Archdiocese of New Orleans celebrated by Archbishop Aymond. This is a great opportunity for our young people to learn about our Nations Capital first-hand and also to do there part to make others aware that abortion is murder. We pray that our legislature will have a change of heart; and we pray for those mothers and fathers contemplating abortion that they may realize that there is another option . . . adoption. We also pray that the doctors and nurses will have a change of heart and for the babies that will never have the opportunity to know their mothers and fathers. We pray for an end to abortion every day. With God’s grace, all hearts can be changed. There are many babies out there that need our help and are crying out “Take My Hand Not My Life!” -------------------------------------- St. Charles Borromeo School News
