Message from the Director  

Reflecting on the innumerable events, assemblies, and accomplished goals this academic year I find truth in the expression, “Pictures speak a thousand words.”  To this end, I reserve space in my column to share with you a glimpse of what I have experienced since joining the Academy last fall.
 
Before doing so, my heartfelt gratitude and support goes out to the entire D.C. community as they prepare to vacate their school building later this month which has been known as “home” for many, many years. May the Holy Spirit grant them the continued wisdom in realizing God’s great plan for them whether at PJPIICA or beyond.  Tremendous thanks is also extended to Mr. Bob Penta and Ms. Cathy Cameron as they venture beyond the halls of PJPIICA to assume new leadership positions within our Catholic Schools.  May God bless them, and anyone leaving us this June to pursue their ministry elsewhere.  May you realize the tremendous impact you have had in laying the foundation of PJPIICA.  

Additionally, I thank everyone; principals, faculty, parents, pastors, and, students, for such dedicated efforts this year to advance the mission of our Academy. 

I wish you a summer filled with restful days and memory making in abundance.  May God keep you safe until we meet again in September ready to continue His work in the spirit and fashion of His servant, Pope John Paul II.

Peace,

Mr. Russ W. Wilson
Regional Director of Schools
