Congratulations Mr. Foster!!

We believe that investing in our employees is an investment in the future of Catholic education. ✨

Each year, the Monsignor Michael F. Sexton Continuing Education Endowment provides tuition assistance to Catholic school employees pursuing advanced degrees, helping talented educators continue to grow in their knowledge, leadership, and service to our schools.

At our annual Formation Day, we were pleased to announce this year’s scholarship recipients:

🎓 Mr. Dylan Jedlovec, principal of St. Ann Catholic School in Decatur, is pursuing a Master of Catholic School Leadership. A graduate of Holy Spirit Regional Catholic School and St. John Paul II Catholic High School, Dylan previously served as a teacher at St. John Paul II before answering the call to school leadership.

🎓 Mr. Kade Foster serves as a teacher and Campus Minister at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Tuscaloosa. Kade is pursuing both a Master of Education and a Doctorate of Education in Catholic School Leadership from Pontifex University, further preparing him to serve and lead within the mission of Catholic education.

The Monsignor Sexton Scholarship is about more than earning an advanced degree. It is about forming and strengthening the educators and leaders who will carry the mission of Catholic education forward for years to come.

Congratulations to Dylan and Kade! We are grateful for their commitment to continued growth and for the many ways they are Lighting Our Way through their service to Catholic education. ✨

Alumni Spotlight: A Friendship Built at Holy Spirit to Last a Lifetime

Some friendships last a season. Others last a lifetime.
For Holy Spirit Catholic School alumni Brody Townsend, Luke Remmert, and David Fuhrman, their friendship began in the elementary school hallways and has grown stronger with each passing year.

The three classmates spent their childhood learning, growing, and competing together at Holy Spirit. As students, they shared countless memories both in the classroom and on the court. One of the highlights of their time together came in 2003 when they were members of Holy Spirit's Area Championship basketball team under the leadership of Coach Scott Suttles.

Their bond extended far beyond athletics. Through high school, college, and adulthood, Brody, Luke, and David remained close friends, celebrating life's milestones together. Their friendship is so enduring that they each stood beside one another at their weddings, sharing in some of the most important moments of their lives.

Today, their connection to Holy Spirit continues through the next generation. Together, the three families have nine children, and every one of them attends Holy Spirit Catholic School. By choosing the same school that helped shape their own lives, they are passing on the values, faith, friendships, and sense of community that have remained central to their story.
Brody, Luke, and David's journey is a testament to the lasting impact of a Holy Spirit education. What began as childhood friendships within our school community has grown into a lifelong brotherhood and a legacy that now continues through their children.

Their story reminds us that at Holy Spirit Catholic School, students gain much more than an education. They build friendships and connections that can last a lifetime.

Yesterday in 6th Grade Social Studies, students got to recreate the Boston Massacre. We had “Redcoats” guarding the Customs House on King Street as a mob of “angry colonists” approached and harassed the soldiers. Once the mob threw insults and “snowballs” at the Redcoats, more reinforcements arrived. Amid chaos and confusion, one soldier claimed to have heard “fire” and shot his “musket” at the protesters. The rest of the soldiers joined in and once the smoke cleared, the evidence of the “massacre” was plain to see. All the students got to participate and really enjoyed this awesome activity! 🇺🇸🇬🇧
