CHARLOTTE ― Plans for a second Charlotte-area Catholic high school have taken another step forward with the selection of a name for the proposed school, early enrollment and an active search for a location. The name, Christ the King Catholic High School, was announced last week by Bishop Peter J. Jugis. “Each of the Catholic schools in our diocese places the Person of Jesus Christ front and center in its school life. Naming the proposed new Catholic high school in honor of Christ the King is another sign of our strong commitment to Christ and his Gospel, and to excellence in education,” Bishop Jugis wrote in his Aug. 10 announcement. Christ the King would be a part of the Mecklenburg Area Catholic Schools system, built to accommodate the growing population north of center city. A project director may be hired by MACS as soon as mid-September to lead the development effort for the new school, said Mike Ford, MACS director of marketing. Early enrollment for ninth grade for the 2011-2012 school year starts Wednesday, Sept. 1. Registration information will be posted online at www. christthekinghs.com starting Monday, Aug. 23.
CHARLOTTE — People around the world will publicly mark the centennial of Mother Teresa’s birth Aug. 26, but for Bishop Emeritus William G. Curlin, the milestone is also deeply personal. For more than 25 years, Bishop Curlin traveled Mother Teresa’s earthly path with her as one of her confessors, confidantes and coworkers caring for the poor and the dying. They met in 1972 through the introduction of Patrick Cardinal O’Boyle in Washington, D.C., while Bishop Curlin was pastor at St. Mary, Mother of God, a poor, inner-city parish.
