Between the four of them, longtime friends Scarlett Schwegmann, Georgia Slovacek, Sarah Keyes, and Abigail Bussey have played soccer, basketball, cross country, track and field, golf, cheerleading, and volleyball; and whether stepping onto the court or the course or the field or the track, each knows the thrill of donning a team uniform, lacing on a pair of shoes, and beginning a beloved sport.
Para Abby Orr, la educación católica ha sido una parte importante de su vida desde la infancia: primero como estudiante, luego como maestra y ahora como directora de escuela.
Orr, la nueva directora de la escuela católica Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro, creció en la escuela católica San Pablo Apóstol en Richardson (ahora Escuela Clásica Católica San Pablo), a la que asistió desde el jardín de infancia hasta el octavo grado. Sus padres, Bill y Chrissie Keffler, han participado activamente en la Diócesis de Dallas desde que se unieron a la parroquia católica San Pablo Apóstol en 1983. Su ejemplo influyó en la visión que Orr tiene de la fe, la familia y la educación.

Para cuando regresaron a Dallas, el resultado de la visita de los jóvenes dejaba huellas profundas en esa comunidad y en sus corazones.
Pope Leo XIV began the five-week Season of Creation by calling on the faithful to step away from the frenzy of daily life to “hear the melodious voice of creation,” stressing that “it is not yet too late” to repair humanity’s relationship with the environment.
The trees were shorter, the surrounding city sparser, and the student population smaller when Gregory Roper began his undergraduate education at the University of Dallas more than four decades ago. As he now undertakes the responsibility of leading the university’s undergraduate school as the new dean of the Constantin College of Liberal Arts, much about his alma mater’s campus is different than it once was — but the mission at the heart of the school, he said, remains the same.
