Chesterton Academy of Vero Beach

It is with great joy that we welcome another new faculty member - Ms. Anna Sutton. Ms. Sutton is currently pursuing a graduate degree in Theology online from the Augustine Institute. Coming to us from the Melbourne area, she will be teaching Theology and some History. A few additional fun facts:
FAVORITE SAINT: Pope St. John Paul II
FAVORITE HOBBY: Long walks in the sunshine
FAVORITE SUMMERTIME FOOD: Anything picnic-related
She says: "I am excited to teach Theology, a subject I am most passionate about, to enthusiastic students following a model that values teaching the whole person in the way I do!" We are so blessed to have her and hope that she feels very welcome here in Vero Beach!

It is with joy that we share the hiring of a new faculty member -
Mr. Kevin McCaffrey. Mr. McCaffrey comes to us from suburban Minneapolis and is the father of three children, with a fourth coming in the Fall. He will be teaching Philosophy, some History, and Latin I, along with performing some Dean duties. A few additional fun facts:
FAVORITE SAINT: St. Joseph
FAVORITE HOBBY: Playing Board Games
FAVORITE SUMMERTIME FOOD: Grilled food and ice cream
He says that he is "excited for teaching some of his favorite subjects, especially Philosophy". We are blessed to welcome him, his wife Brittany, (who is herself a very gifted vocalist and organist) and their children. Welcome to Vero Beach, McCaffrey Family!

During the Thursday of the last week of school we were blessed to be able to attend a Mass in which Bishop Manuel was celebrating and honoring the St. Helen graduates. After Mass, the bishop made time to visit with the faculty and students of Chesterton. We look forward to working with and alongside him in the future.

One of the joys of being at a Chesterton Academy is the opportunity to assist at Mass. Every Thursday this school year, our students served Mass and served as the choir. On this last Thursday of school, we honor our young ladies who did a great job providing beautiful hymns, 2-part motets, and chants each and every week. Great job, ladies! :)

A little late, but better than never! This year's inaugural classes of our Chesterton Academy of Vero Beach successfully performed Dale Ahlquist's "More Bodies, Please". We are so proud of our students (and a few guest students from middle school) who helped make this an amazing experience! Can't wait for all that is to come!
