Dear Bluejay family, Last Friday, we officially launched our Building on Tradition, Trusting in His Will Capital Campaign—a moment rooted in years of prayerful planning and faithful stewardship. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have already raised more than half of our campaign goal of $12.6 million. As we celebrate the completion of Phase 1, we look ahead with great excitement to Phase 2 of our Master Site Plan. This phase will further our mission and support our growing school through a new gymnasium, expanded parking, a safer car line, relocated administrative offices, and additional classroom space for our young Bluejays. Each element has been thoughtfully designed to meet today’s needs while positioning St. Cecilia for continued growth and excellence. Phase 3 of the plan will bring 9 new junior high classrooms, including 2 science labs that will expand opportunities for hands-on learning and better prepare our students for the academic rigor of high school and beyond. We also remain committed to growing our endowment to ensure a strong and faithful future for our school. At this pivotal moment, we have a unique opportunity—and a clear challenge before us. Every dollar given right now is doubled through the Stuller Family Foundation match. That means every gift you make has twice the impact on our students, our campus, and our future. We must meet this match to fully realize the momentum of this campaign and to steward this incredible gift well. We ask you to prayerfully consider a three-year commitment and to act now. Help us unlock the full $500,000 by making a gift today. Every gift, at every level, directly supports our students, families, and the life of our school. Please take a moment to visit https://www.scsbluejays.org/giving/capital-campaign.cfm and prayerfully discern how you can be part of this transformative effort. If you have any questions you would like to discuss in person, please contact Mrs. Angela Schoeffler (aschoeffler@scsbluejays.org) to schedule an appointment. Now is the time! Together, let us rise to meet this moment—maximizing the match, strengthening our mission, and building a future worthy of our students—always trusting in His will. God Bless,    Fr. Michael Delcambre Pastor Sacred Heart of Jesus Church   Erin B. Henry, M.ED Principal St. Cecilia School

Honoring The Children of St. Cecilia School  Almighty Father, as grateful stewards of the blessings You have bestowed on us from past leaders and supporters of our beloved St. Cecilia School family, we ask for wisdom and guidance in carrying on this legacy of serving Your children in Your love.  Guided by the Holy Spirit, may we be humbly attentive to Your will as we strive to build new spaces of learning for Your children to grow, providing a foundation for the vocations in life to which You call them. May generous hearts and minds be opened and inspired by Your grace as we undertake this endeavor of building on tradition and trusting in Your will.  We pray this in the name of Your Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, as we invoke the intercession of our patroness, Saint Cecilia. Amen

On April 9, 2025, our school community gathered on the front lawn to mark this exciting milestone in our 116-year legacy of faith, learning, and service.

With heartfelt remarks from Principal Erin Henry, a blessing from Bishop Deshotel, and prayers led by Fr. Michael Delcambre, the ceremony celebrated not just the start of construction — but the beginning of even greater things ahead.

Shovels were turned by student representatives, school and parish leadership, diocesan officials, and members of our Capital Campaign and Building Committees — a powerful symbol of the unity and dedication that made this project possible.

Special thanks to Angelle Architects, LLC and ARL Construction, Inc. for helping us bring this vision to life.
