Congratulations


Dr. Mandy Lacy, principal of Pass Christian’s
DeLisle Elementary School, has been named 2021
Administrator of the Year by the Mississippi
Department of Education. 
 

Congratulations to Mrs. Cindy Schepens Cox
sixth grade teacher at St. Vincent Elementary School as the recipient of  the National Catholic Educators Association Distinguished Catholic School [Former] Student Award.
The award is for Catholic school students who give back their time and talents to Catholic education and their parish as adults. Mrs. Cox attended St Thomas School, has served the parish as a CCD and summer Bible school teacher, Lector, Commentator, and Eucharistic Minister. She has also served on a local Catholic School Board and Principal Search Team.
She teaches at St Vincent De Paul School and begins her 25th year in the fall.

When the bulletin congratulated the First Holy Communion Class of 2021 I did not yet have a picture to include in the document to send to the publisher. Therefore, I would like to congratulate everyone once again.
