“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” — Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 pilot Jason Dahl.
On Sept. 11, 2001, America was forever changed. It has been 19 years since the attacks, but that tragic day, which served as a true test of the American spirit, will be remembered always.
So on this day, we honor the value of life, those we loved and lost, our country’s resilience, and the strength of the American spirit.

To help acclimate students and staff to some of the changes in procedures and policies we will have transition days. On August 11th and 12th, we will have students come by grade for part of a day. New procedures and policies will be discussed in order to answer questions and ease as many concerns as possible. Your student should attend the designated time (information will be forthcoming) in order to safely begin school on Thursday, August 13th (please note this is also an early dismissal day). In the event that we receive guidance from state and local officials that this becomes necessary, our calendar may be adjusted accordingly.
Late last week, Governor DeWine announced back to school health and safety guidelines for all school districts across Ohio. LCC, alongside our Catholic Elementary schools are currently reviewing those guidelines. As a Catholic community, we have been planning and preparing for multiple scenarios to safely welcome students and staff back.
We will be reviewing the latest information from the governor so we can meet the requirements set forth in these guidelines. Once we know more, we will share more details.
May this day inspire us all to fight for freedom and equality everyday 🇺🇸

Students in Mr. Kuhlman's History class displayed their knowledge of the Vietnam War through drawings.
As we all prepare to reconnect to our Catholic lives, albeit still in an extraordinary way, I would like to invite you to engage with those who are awaiting the reception of a Sacrament in an extraordinary way. Many of the first communicants, the confirmandi, the elect, and the candidates experienced an abrupt change or even end to their preparation for the reception of these respective sacraments. Therefore, please consider wholeheartedly advocating participation in a Novena to the Holy Spirit to all those that you serve in ministry and especially to those whose formation was truncated. We pray that this novena prepares each of us for the gifts of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and particularly for those awaiting sacraments that the Spirit will teach and remind us of all that Christ has told us (cf. John 14:26).
To encourage participation, we are also promoting a Red Ribbon Campaign. The red ribbons are a visible sign of our anticipation, excitement, and unity. The goal is to cover Northwest Ohio in red ribbons by simply tying one on your front door, mailbox, a tree in your yard, etc. on Friday, May 22nd, the first day of the novena, through Saturday, May 30th. Videos will be posted daily on social media and the Reconnect webpage, additional resources for the novena can also be found at this link: https://reconnecttoledo.squarespace.com/pentecost
Come, Holy Spirit!

Today we would normally be celebrating Mass as a community with our Tbirds. As we find ourselves in this extraordinary circumstance of being unable to publicly celebrate mass and the Eucharist, you may be left wondering what can we do?
Always remember, God is everywhere and He always hears your prayers.
Below is a traditional prayer of spiritual communion that many saints have prayed over the years. It can be prayed in those times you find yourself unable to receive the Eucharist, or even in the midst of your daily life, lifting up your thoughts to God.
The ultimate goal of our lives should be communion with God and an act of spiritual communion can help us draw closer to that goal.
Congratulations to Ms. Elizabeth Luersman and Ms. Jackie Pachuta! They were chosen by students to be our 3rd quarter faculty and staff Leadership By Example winners! Thank you for everything you do for our T-birds!

Of all the programs offered at LCC, retreats are among the most important and most intricate. LCC has implemented a 4 year retreat program designed to provide a natural progression that coincides with experiences throughout high school.
A retreat can often be one of the most powerful tools at our disposal for bringing students to a face-to-face encounter with the very real presence of God in their lives. They are an essential and necessary part of the LCC faith life allowing students to take the time to consider the truly important aspects of life.
In 36 days, our seniors will leave for their last retreat with us, Kairos. This retreat gives seniors an opportunity to experience where Christ is their lives and where God will be after high school. We remind students that they are perfectly made by God and to experience Him in a deep and personal way. They are then asked to “Live the Fourth” which is truly the rest of their lives. It is our goal that our students will have had a deeper encounter in their Christian life, thereby building on the formation we instill daily in the classroom.
We will be sharing a daily quote from our last 8 Kairos retreats to give you a glimpse of the amazing experiences and revelations our students have on this retreat.
It's senior night for the Varsity Volleyball team! Come support them as they take on Arlington HS at 7pm at LCC.

SATURDAY: Celebrating Families
Parents, guardians and other family members play a vital role in Catholic education. Not only do they volunteer at our school, they instill values and expectations for academic excellence in their children at home. We acknowledge the role of families in Catholic education and celebrate their contributions to the success of our school on the last day of National Catholic Schools Week, and all year long!
FRIDAY: Celebrating Faculty, Staff and Volunteers
On this day, we will honor teachers, principals, administrators and staff. We thank the parents, grandparents, alumni, parishioners and school board members who provide volunteer service!
THURSDAY: Celebrating Vocations
By focusing on faith, knowledge and service, Catholic schools prepare children to use their God-given talents to the fullest later in life. National Catholic Schools Week offers an opportunity for students to explore the many life paths that enable them to use their talents well in the service of God and others — by answering the call to a religious vocation, by nurturing a family through sacramental marriage, by volunteering in church activities and charities, and/or by pursuing a career that makes the world a better place.
WEDNESDAY: Celebrating the Nation
On National Appreciation Day for Catholic Schools, students, families, educators and other Catholic school supporters communicates the value of Catholic education to government leaders. They share information with leaders on the significant contributions Catholic schools make to the nation and their role in preparing students to be good citizens. They pray for the nation and recognize all those who serve it. The schools will come together and we will celebrate Mass together as one Catholic community today at 9:30am in the New Gym. All are invited to join us!
Due to temperatures, wind chill warning & most importantly, the safety of our students, LCC will be closed and there will be no athletic practices on Wednesday, January 30th. Stay safe & warm T-Birds!
TUESDAY: Celebrating Our Students
Today we celebrate our students by showing our appreciation and recognizing their accomplishments! We encourage students to reflect on the benefits of Catholic education and how the grounding in faith, knowledge and service it provides will help them throughout their lives.
MONDAY: Celebrating Your Community
A central aspect of Catholic education is learning the importance of service to others. When students take part in service activities—both local and beyond—they demonstrate the values and faith they gain through their Catholic education and learn how to make the world a better place. When they observe how others serve the community, they gain an appreciation for how they can continue to serve others their entire lives. Check out a glimpse of what our LCC community has been involved in over the past year!
SUNDAY: CELEBRATE YOUR PARISH
Catholic schools benefit all year long from the religious guidance, prayers and support parishes provide. Our area parishes join in the National Catholic Schools Week celebration by devoting a Mass to Catholic education today!
We are kicking off Catholic Schools Week 2019 with a dozen reasons to choose Catholic schools! Why do you choose Catholic schools? Share with us in the comments!

“Use the power of your word in the direction of TRUTH and LOVE ❤️” is the theme for the 2018-19 school year. By focusing on God‘s Word, we hope to instill upon our students how powerful their own words can be and the importance of personal integrity. By excepting God’s offer of assistance, we can gain confidence in our own ability to make good decisions, use the right words and do what we say we are going to do.
This week our faculty and staff each chose a word with personal meaning to them. We hammered our words onto MyIntent bracelets so that every time we look down at it we will be inspired and encouraged to embody our message.
What word would you choose for your intent bracelet?
