PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Dear Friends, This year marks the end of my six year term as principal. The years have been kind to both me and the College, largely through the generosity of so many parents, alumni and friends. For all the good and gracious things that you have shared with me, I am most grateful. I have always thought that the strength of the College lies in its hidden quality to share in great en¬ deavours in a caring sort of way. The strength has always found its expression in a fierce pride, at once a prelude and a finish to all endeavours. Achievement in such a context is an easier venture because the community effort is always far greater than the effort from the sum of the parts. We have always per¬ sonified our community in the notion of the College, but we have never been deceived into thinking that our treasure was anything but the spirit we shared and the sacrifices we were all willing to make for that spirit. Others attempt great deeds but few focus beyond the deeds. I wish you an abundance of that wisdom so characteristic of College. I delight in having shared in that wisdom in so personal and sustained a manner. I wish you all a deeper vision of Christ as the focus of that spirit. Fondest best wishes. Sincerely yours, Br. M.A. Maher, C.F.C. 17
