CHARLOTTE — Con grandes sonrisas, mochilas y bolsas de almuerzo en la mano, unos 8.300 estudiantes católicos regresaron a la escuela en todo el oeste de Carolina del Norte esta semana. La mayoría de las 20 escuelas de la Diócesis de Charlotte abrieron el miércoles, y algunas escalonaron sus horarios de inicio o días de apertura para acomodar a las familias que llegan.

La diócesis espera un tercer año consecutivo de récord de matrícula, con un nuevo obispo para recibir a los estudiantes al comienzo de un nuevo año académico. El Obispo Michael Martin, OFM Conv., ex educador de una escuela católica, compartió mensajes especiales de video de "bienvenidos a la escuela" a los estudiantes, los que grabó desde el asiento del conductor de un autobús escolar.

El Obispo Martin instó a los niños escuela elemental a aprender más sobre Jesús y sus amigos, para que ellos también puedan ser amigos de Jesús. Animó a los estudiantes de escuela media a tratar a los demás como Jesús los trataría. Y su consejo para los estudiantes de secundaria, que esperan con ansias un nuevo año y los grandes cambios de la vida por venir, fue "confía en Jesús". Ah, y "por cierto", dijo, "deja tranquilos a tus maestros y a tus padres", ya que "están trabajando duro por ti".

Mire los mensajes en video en el canal de YouTube channel de las escuelas.

En los próximos días, el nuevo obispo ofrecerá una misa en la Escuela Secundaria Católica de Charlotte, la Escuela San Miguel en Gastonia y en la Catedral San Patricio en Charlotte para las familias que educan a sus hijos en sus hogares.
