LC Receives Recognition as a Model School
In March of 2010 it was announced that Lansdale Catholic was recognized by the International Center for Leadership in Education as a Model School. Congratulations to all the dedicated teachers, coaches, personnel, parents, and alumni, as well as the students, for earning this achievement. They have shown that it is the quality and spirit of the people involved – and not the complex itself that is capable of producing this enviable recognition.

Communion Breakfast Commemorates the
60th Anniversary (1949 – 2009)
of the founding of
Lansdale Catholic High School
(Little Flower Catholic High School of Lansdale)
Sunday, November 29, 2009
What a
Success!
Wow! What might have been a first ever Lansdale
Catholic Communion Breakfast was a great success. It was organized
by the Friends and Alumni of LC, Inc. to commemorate the opening of
the school (as Little Flower Catholic High School of Lansdale) back
in 1949, 60 years ago. More than 100 friends, alums, and some of
their children gathered on Sunday, November 29, first for the 8:30
am Mass at St. Stanislaus Church In Lansdale The Mass was celebrated
by the pastor, Monsignor Tracy, who, in his opening remarks, went
out of his way to welcome all the alumni who were present as well as
the friends of Lansdale Catholic. In his brief talk, he recounted
some of the history of the school and praised those who remained
loyal. His words were inspiring and well received by those in
attendance. Following the Mass, the group then reassembled at
Marjeane’s for a buffet breakfast and program, wherein a
representative from each decade offered remarks about what school
was like in their era. A highlight of the morning was the attendance
by Sister George Ellen, OSF who was only the second religious to
teach at the school. Bringing current day relevance to the morning
was the attendance by three LC seniors, who did not hesitate to
speak about their affection for the school. Also on display in the
dining area was memorabilia from each of the decades. Winding up the
morning’s celebration was a rousing rendition of the alma mater,
headed up by John O’Hara. There are many people to thank for
organizing the event, but special recognition has to go to the Zoto
group, but in particular to Mickey Algeo, without whose energy and
effort it would not have happened.

Once again, "Putting Children in
Harms Way"
If the Archdiocese proceeds with
its plans to locate the new high school at the site in
Hilltown Township, it would not be unreasonable to expect
that of the anticipated 1,200 enrollment, probably 800 of
them will have to travel the treacherous and unsafe Hilltown
Pike two times a day.
Is this not a callous disregard
for their safety? Haven't they learned?

The determination,
commitment, and ability of two people started it all back in 1949 as a
parish high school called Little Flower Catholic High School of
Lansdale.
Let us never lose that determination and commitment! |
