It is not the accolades received, nor the projects completed, but the community encountered that Patrick Magee treasures most as he prepares to retire his post as president of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School, the longtime administrator said. After more than two decades of leadership at the Dallas school, including more than a dozen years serving as the institution’s first president, Magee is stepping down from the position at the end of the 2025-2026 school year, with Lisa Long set to take up the mantle.
September marks the Month of the Bible, a time that the Church has set aside for the reading, reflection, and meditation of Holy Scripture. In recognition of this special observance, The Texas Catholic is highlighting the fruitful efforts of three Bible study groups from Diocese of Dallas parishes — St. Pius X Catholic Parish, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Parish, and St. Rita Catholic Community — as they endeavor to open the hearts and minds of their communities to the abiding Word of God.
