Message from the Chaplain

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAPLAIN

Hello! My Friends in Christ,

Discovering Excellence is a fitting theme for 2022-23 and always. Learning and mastering academic skills are vitally important to your personal growth and the well-being of our world. Ignorance can wreak such havoc, while excellence, in both learning and humbly following Jesus Christ, can bring about peace, love and human connectiveness.

St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said, “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”

My hope for this year is that we will all discover excellence in each other and ourselves. Our exceptionalism can be a well-spring of joy that will emanate from our campus and bring about true conversion for our world.

I am excited to take this journey with all of you as I embark on this new experience as your chaplain. Helping others learn to follow Jesus Christ is my greatest joy and desire. This year we want to continue forming our community by reminding ourselves of all the good that is around us and working to eliminate that which is bad.

If we start expecting excellence of ourselves and work to overcome our shortcomings, I know that we will accomplish the Mission of Jesus and His Church and truly become One Body in Christ.

Life is never perfect, but I know in my heart that the intermittent pain we experience throughout our lives teaches us grace, love, compassion and keeps us connected to each other as we navigate this life.

It is no accident that I was assigned to be your chaplain at this time. God is up to something great! All we need to do is follow His brilliance and trust in His Son.

With Jesus as our guide, we will most certainly Discover Excellence!

Blessings to you all,

Fr. Clement Attah, VC Notre Dame Prep, School Chaplain
