PRINCIPAL'S FAREWELL LETTER

To the families of Sts. Bruno and Richard School,

It has been a true honor and blessing to serve this community and to come to know so many wonderful families throughout this past year. As I reflect on this transition and how difficult it is to write this, I recognize the sadness and uncertainty that many of you are also feeling. Please know that I am praying for each of you, that God grants you peace and comfort as we close one chapter and begin another.

This school has always been much more than a building. It is the people, the students, families, teachers, staff, parishioners, and supporters who have made this community so special through their faith, love, sacrifice, and dedication.

Throughout our lives, we will all face moments that challenge us and test our hearts. I know you all know this and sometimes it helps to keep hearing it.  It is natural to ask, “Why now?” or “Why us?” Yet even in hardship, God continues to lead us with purpose. These experiences shape us, strengthen our faith, and help form us into the disciples He calls us to be.

During this time, let us remain united in prayer, compassion, and love for one another. May we allow Christ’s love to overcome any anger, fear, or doubt, and may we continue carrying the spirit of this community wherever God leads us next.

Thank you for allowing me to walk alongside you in faith. May God continue to bless each and every one of you.

May Peace Be Upon You,

Mary Arevalo

A las familias de los Santos. Escuela Bruno y Richard,

 

Ha sido un verdadero honor y una bendición servir a esta comunidad y conocer a tantas familias maravillosas a lo largo del último año. Al reflexionar sobre esta transición y lo difícil que resulta escribir esto, reconozco la tristeza y la incertidumbre que muchos de ustedes también sienten. Sepan que rezo por cada uno de ustedes, para que Dios les conceda paz y consuelo mientras cerramos un capítulo y comenzamos otro. ​

 

Esta escuela siempre ha sido mucho más que un edificio. Son las personas —los estudiantes, las familias, los maestros, el personal, los feligreses y quienes nos apoyan— quienes han hecho que esta comunidad sea tan especial gracias a su fe, amor, sacrificio y dedicación.

 

A lo largo de nuestras vidas, todos enfrentaremos momentos que nos desafían y ponen a prueba nuestros corazones. Sé que todos ustedes lo saben, pero a veces ayuda seguir escuchándolo. Es natural preguntarse: "¿Por qué ahora?" o "¿Por qué nosotros?". Sin embargo, incluso en la adversidad, Dios sigue guiándonos con un propósito. Estas experiencias nos moldean, fortalecen nuestra fe y nos ayudan a convertirnos en los discípulos que Él nos llama a ser. ​

 

En este tiempo, permanezcamos unidos en la oración, la compasión y el amor mutuo. Permitamos que el amor de Cristo venza cualquier enojo, temor o duda, y sigamos llevando el espíritu de esta comunidad a dondequiera que Dios nos guíe a continuación. ​

 

Gracias por permitirme caminar junto a ustedes en la fe. Que Dios continúe bendiciendo a cada uno de ustedes.

Que la paz esté con ustedes,

Mary Arevalo

Directora
