, ft -1... -, 0 4 Q, A LEGACY The name Bishop Ireton is spoken hundreds of times every day in connection with Bishop Ireton High School. However, few of those who use the name know the role that Bishop Ireton played in planning and building the high school that bears his name. During his reign, the news about the building of another Catholic boy's high schcol in Alexandria was released. Along with the late Msgr. Stephens of St. Mary's parish, Bishop Ireton worked to see that another Catholic high school would serve the Northern Virginia area. Peter L. Ireton was Bishop of Richmond for thirteen years. As priest,and bishop he revealed an extraordinary abiljty to communicate with people. All who knew Bishop Ireton admired his kindness, understanding, and compassion. The inverted cross is from the coat of arms of Peter Ireton. This cross stands for the humble faith of St. Peter after whom the Bishop was named. Bishop lreton's greatest legacy to the school honored by his name is this very same faith of St. Peter. As such this section of the school seal represents well the religious activity at Bishop Ireton.

Peter lreton A Christian Education The students of Bishop lreton are of many different social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds. However, they are homogeneous in one respect: they are members of the Catholic faith. Bishop lreton exists to give young men a chance to learn about their religion, and to have religion integrated with other fields of learning. The Oblates believe that the religion class cannot be treated like other academic courses. The in- structor must not be content to throw the student dogma to be memorized and believed. Discussion and questioning must be encouraged and religion related to the life and problems of the student. A young man at lreton has full opportunity to grow spiritually. Mass and confession are available daily, and the student body frequently gathers to concelebrate the Eucharist. However, little is forced on him, it is his choice.
