Dear Christ the King - St. Stephen Community,
This past weekend, we observed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend and paused to remember a man whose life was rooted in Christian faith and guided by love, justice, and service. Dr. King believed that faith must be lived through action and that peace is achieved through courageous love and righteousness. His legacy continues to call us to honor the dignity of every person as a beloved child of God and to work faithfully for unity and justice.
As we reflect on Dr. King’s remarkable journey, we are reminded of the power of his truthful and faithful message. Below is a prayer written by Dr. King and shared in the collection Thou Dear God: Prayers that Open Hearts and Spirits, edited by Lewis V. Baldwin:
O God, we thank you for the lives of great saints and prophets in the past, who have shown us that we can stand firm amid the trials of life and not give in. Grant that we may move forward with faith and determination, so that we may make a creative contribution to this world. In the name and spirit of Jesus we pray.
Dr. King once said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you do not see the whole staircase.” May we carry these words with us as we continue to walk in faith and serve one another with love.
We now look ahead with great anticipation to Catholic Schools Week, with the national theme Community and Family. Our return to school marked a strong and joyful beginning, as faculty and staff gathered for thoughtful planning and preparation. We look forward to our Catholic Schools Week Mass on January 25, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., along with our Open House from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and a faith filled week prepared by our faculty and staff, executive, student, and spiritual councils.
Kindergarten admissions and interviews will begin soon, and we are excited to welcome prospective students and families into our school community. In the weeks ahead, we also look forward to several beloved academic traditions, including the Science Fair, Spelling Bee, Academic Decathlon, and the Christ the King Annual Speech Contest. We are equally excited for our annual school auction, Vogue CTK at Parish Fashion Week, taking place on February 28th. This joyful and community centered evening is open to all, and we warmly invite you to purchase tickets to this special event and join us in support of our community.
On February 3rd, our faculty and staff will engage in year two of professional development focused on the Savvas EnVision mathematics curriculum. That same day, in the evening at 7:00 p.m., we are honored to welcome Dr. Denise Pope from Stanford University to present in Christ the King Catholic Church. Dr. Pope is a senior lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and the founder of Challenge Success. Her presentation, open to families, will focus on supporting the well-balanced student, fostering healthy achievement, and strengthening partnerships between home and school.
Additionally, four faculty and staff members and I will attend the Learning and the Brain Conference in San Francisco. This experience will deepen our understanding of how students learn best and strengthen our instructional practices, directly supporting our academic goals and student outcomes.
In closing, I am deeply grateful for our special community. Your continued commitment to the mission, charism, and legacy of Christ the King Catholic School makes a lasting and meaningful difference.
In gratitude and blessings,
Joseph M. Silveira, Ed.D.
