Lou Tobacco’s Post

Dear Monsignor Farrell Family, In these tumultuous and challenging times, we come together in prayer for the future of our great nation. Our Catholic faith calls us to seek peace, unity, and strength in the face of adversity. Let us turn to God for guidance and comfort, trusting in His wisdom and grace to lead us through. May we stand united in our commitment to uphold the values of compassion, integrity, and love for one another. Let us remember that we have more in common with one another than what we may think divides us. Monsignor Farrell High School continues to stand proudly for God and Country, embodying the principles that make our community strong and resilient. Together, with our shared faith, we can face any challenge with courage and hope. With heartfelt prayers, Louis R. Tobacco President, Monsignor Farrell High School
