Archangel Gabriel School By now you know that for the coming school year, St. Malachy Parish School will be merged into Holy Trinity Parish School to make the new Archangel Gabriel School, shared by the three RocKenRo parishes: Holy Trinity, St. John of God, and St. Malachy. My immediate motive is that St. Malachy School operates at an increasing deficit that neither the parish nor RocKenRo can afford. To save resources for our shared mission, we need to stop the deficit spending. A few of my trusted councilors advised me simply to close St. Malachy and invite the students there to move to Holy Trinity. People of this reasonable opinion should be respected: Under Kim Stevenson’s leadership, Holy Trinity School has grown stably and successfully. But we ask how best to undertake our shared mission as RocKenRo, including the mission to aid Christian parents in their God-given responsibility for rearing and educating their children, especially in the Catholic faith. To merge the schools effectively creates a Grouping school and the opportunity to integrate our mission to all our parents who sub-scribe to it. Given Holy Trinity School’s success, I plan to locate all K through 8 education at that campus. Because the St. Malachy Pre-School is fully certified, I plan to locate all pre-school there. I make the 8-minute commute daily; I hope parents who chauffeur their children will be able to do so. Many questions remain: Tuition, fundraising team, uniforms, gym usage, etc. To answer I’ll be relying on advice from my implementation committee: Bonnie Amendola, Charles Baker, Rosemary Corsetti, Linda Gomulka, Julie Loehlein, Joseph Maggi, Amy Maxin, Fr. Alan Morris, and Dr. William Stropkaj. Our first task is to hire a principal for Archangel Gabriel School. Our current principals and outsiders are invited to apply. The principal will hire the new school’s facul-ty from the current pool of teachers at both schools. If you have special questions or concerns, please convey them in writing to me or a member of the implementation committee. I hope all current students at Holy Trinity and St. Malachy enter Archangel Gabriel. Enrollments for 2019-20 at either school will be honored at Archangel Gabriel. To parents who judge that Archangel Gabriel is not the best choice for their children, I recommend Northside Catholic Assumption Academy, St. James School, St. Margaret of Scotland School, and St. Philip School. I proposed the name “Archangel Gabriel” to link the patronal names of the three parishes: The Archangel Gabriel is “one of the seven holy angels who…enter into the presence of the glory of the Holy One” and

behold the Holy Trinity (paralleling Raphael per Tobit 12:15). The Archangel Gabriel makes known God’s plan for the salvation of his people (Daniel 8:16, 9:21; Luke 1:19). St. Mal-

achy is most famous for his analogous gift of prophecy. The Archangel Gabriel announces the conception of Jesus to the blessed virgin Mary. The principal church of St. John

of God Parish is St. Mary, Help of Christians. The naming of the school coincides with RocKenRo’s desire to commemorate the late Fr. Kenneth Keene. His mother, Alvera Keene, and family graciously agree to donate toward the installation of a large image of the Archangel Gabriel in his memory. May God grant eternal rest to Fr. Ken. Archangel Gabriel, pray for us! * Please remember that Daylight Savings Time begins next Sunday, March 10. Set your clocks forward one hour or

you’ll be late for Mass! * Lent begins Ash Wednesday, March 6. Please find your Lenten calendar in this bulletin. * The Diocese of Pittsburgh sets the last Sunday before Lent as the annual appeal for the Parish Share Program, but on-

ly St. Malachy Parish traditionally observes this practice. St. Malachy parishioners will therefore receive my ap-peal. But everyone is asked to note that (1) Parish Share gifts are typically the most effective way to support your parish and (2) funds from Parish Share are never used for the compensation fund for those abused by clergy, nor for related legal expenses.

—Fr. Dave

ON MISSION FOR THE CHURCH ALIVE

Every Tree Is Known By Its Own Fruit – In grade school catechism class you may have been asked to learn and memorize the Fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith-fulness, gentleness, self-control, long-suffering, modesty and chastity. These 12 attributes are the means by which we come to understand how an in-dividual is living in accord with the Holy Spirit. They are the work of God’s grace in our lives and the result of us tending to our hearts, making them fertile soil for the love of God to take root so that only good fruit can grow. Like any agricultural im-age that we use for faith, the Fruit of the Spirit re-quires both hard work and trust. A farmer works hard to till, plant, weed out and tend to his crops in order to reap a bountiful harvest. Yet, he also has to trust that the sun and rain will come in the necessary pro-portions to nourish what he has worked so hard to plant. For us, we have to work hard to weed out any-thing which seeks to harden our hearts or set up re-sistance to the work of the Spirit. Then, we must trust the ways in which the Spirit is at work to bear abundant good fruit in and through us. Nurturing the Fruit of the Spirit works for our good, the good of others and the good of the Church as we journey On Mission for The Church Alive! Visit onmission-churchalive.org to learn more and to stay in-formed.

Spelling Bee Congratulations to 7th grade student, Contessa Tripodi, Holy Trinity School’s spelling bee winner. Contessa won her classroom bee and advanced to the school-wide bee with other winners from 6th through 8th grade. She will represent Holy Trinity School at the local area Western Pennsylvania Spelling Bee on March 9 at Rob-ert Morris University. The local event is part of the Scripps National Spelling Bee competition. Contessa won the Holy Trinity School competition by correctly spelling the word “clavicle.” The runner-up

was 8th grade speller, Hunter Gorsuch. Other bee participants in-cluded Lily Barbisch, John Haseleu, Isaac Huang, Corinne Ludwick, Kate Mickle, and Danny Miller. The goal of the national bee is to help stu-dents improve spelling, increase their vocabu-laries, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them throughout their lives.

100th Day of School Students in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades celebrated the 100th day of school by making hats and using creative ways to count to and celebrate the number 100. Kindergarten marched around the school counting 100 steps. Both Kindergarten and 1st grade went on a treasure hunt looking for 100 Hershey kisses hidden in their classrooms. Students in both 1st and 2nd grades prepared a special snack by adding 10 pieces each of 10 different snack items to their recipe. They shared the snacks with their prayer partners in the middle school. 2nd grade made a creative drawing out of the number 100 and wrote an essay about what their lives will be like when they are 100 years old.
