Thank you for joining us on this wonderful Saturday evening in sup-

port of Epiphany Catholic School. Those of you in attendance here

tonight might be friends, teachers, staff, parents, and/or alumni of

Epiphany Catholic School; you may have traveled here tonight from

the western suburbs, the loop, or perhaps just a few blocks. No

matter who you are, where you are in life, or where you are going—

your presence is sincerely appreciated.

We gather tonight in support of Epiphany Catholic School as our

way of acknowledging the foundation it has provided for genera-

tions of children.

From Crawford to Little Village, Epiphany Catholic School has al-

ways served a community of immigrants by providing an education

rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the importance of doing

one’s own part in bringing about a more just and peaceful society.

In its 100 plus year history, Epiphany Catholic School & Epiphany

Parish have overcome challenges and obstacles in ways that speak

volumes to the devotion, faith, and love of our pastor, educators,

staff, alumni, and most importantly, YOU. WELCOME!

And the Award Goes to….

Tonight we are honoring a very special educator; devoted to early childhood education, let us recognize this educator’s role in strength-ening the emotional, social, and academic foundations of all who pass under her care.

This educator has given over twenty five years of dedication & service to Epiphany Catholic School & the Little Village community. She has inspired countless children to believe in themselves; to believe that they are capable of making this a more just world —no matter how young or small they are.

Countless alumni who, as adults, now realize the enormity of the re-sponsibility she has and continues to willingly take upon herself, thank God that you, Ms. Rosie Rodriguez, chose Epiphany. Many of those alumni have and continue to entrust their own children to you, because we know that, “True patience is grounded in wisdom & com-passion.*”

No words can ever express the depth of gratitude the Epiphany Com-munity has for your service, dedication to knowledge & teaching, and your commitment—but we will start by saying:

THANK YOU
