Congratulations on the arrival of the new principal of St. Joseph Catholic School, Mr. Clayton Cobb (pictured with his wife and two-month-old daughter).

He and his wife, Carrie, have four children (Matthew, Chase, Adam, and Amelia) and are looking forward to this opportunity and their move to Shreveport. Mr. Cobb is expected to begin his new journey with St. Joseph at the end of October or first of November. Please pray and welcome him and his family as they begin on this new path.

Congratulations to Peter Vanchiere for being named a National Merit Semifinalist! Over 1.5 million juniors took the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test last year, and as a semifinalist, Peter is among the top 1% of high scorers in the state. At Loyola College Prep, Peter is involved in Spanish Club, Flyers Aiding the Hungry, and National Honor Society; he is an Altar Server, and he is a left-wing starter for the Loyola Men's soccer team. He truly exemplifies all of our three pillars - academic excellence, student involvement, and faith in action.
Diocese Youth Give Back to the Community
The Our Lady of Fatima Youth Group became the hands of Christ as they painted the Our Lady of Fatima School cafeteria.
Frances Barham, as part of her Capstone Leadership Project, collected our recently retired school uniforms. She washed, folded, and packed the uniforms and with the help of her family and classmates, worked at the Stampede Rodeo to raise the money necessary to ship them. St. Frederick High School is now United by Uniforms with Centro Educativo Esperanzo Para Guatemala. Frances is pictured on the left with her older sister Larkin.
