"Seniority is defined as the number of years of continuous service for the diocese in a geographic school system, within the elementary and secondary systems and in a specific field. Teachers must also have earned a religion certification by taking six theology courses from the diocese, completed a state certification with three years of teaching and obtained a pastor’s letter confirming the teacher is an appropriate representative of his/her faith."

"Life itself is obviously a very great gift. None of us created our own self or thought up our own existence. Everything we enjoy depends on the initial gift of God's love. Yet there is an even greater gift. That is what we celebrate tonight. We experience life as a combination of longings and limitations. We each have a hidden self which we wish to reveal to someone who can really understand and embrace us. To accept us as we truly are. That someone does exist. We celebrate his birth today."
- Father Rick, Christmas Homily, December 24 & 25, 2005
