Alliance for Catholic Education
Dear ACE Advocates Community,
Greetings from Notre Dame! All God's blessings on you, and all those whom God has entrusted to your care, as we prepare for the coming school year.
I write to share some great news. As you know, Sarah (Greene) Perkins has provided extremely generous and hope-filled leadership of the ACE Advocates over these past two years. During her tenure, ACE Advocates has continued to strengthen the spiritual mission and identity of the ACE community, while also inviting and engaging entrepreneurial leaders in Catholic education through our graduate network. Of course, Sarah was an integral member of the leadership team that planned ACE's 20th anniversary through the Fighting for Our Children's Future National Bus Tour. We are grateful beyond words for Sarah's gifts, and the leadership of the entire Advocates team here on campus.
As many of you know, Sarah and her husband Chris just welcomed a new member of their family, John Peter Perkins, who was born on June 19th. The whole Perkins family is doing very well! Sarah's role at ACE will be transitioning to part time, and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank Sarah for her countless contributions to the ACE Movement.
As we continue to discern the future direction and growth of our mission for Catholic schools, I will provide leadership of ACE Advocates, along with the rest of our team on campus, in the interim.
As we prepare for the coming school year, let us remember the words of Christ ringing in our ears: "Behold, I make all things new!" May God renew each of us in our discipleship, in our ministries, and in our love for God and one another, as we proclaim the Gospel ever anew!
