Mrs. Joni Duos, Principal, Our Lady of Fatima School, Lafayette, LAAs a Catholic school Principal of 930 students, my life is very busy but I get to be part of an all girls catholic school and that's an amazing thing. As a mother of two children and 4 grandchildren, my life is full of activity. As a wife, sister and daughter, my life is full of obligations. Time is scarce, energy is never enough and my rope of life seems to want to unravel quite often!

Saint Bede the Venerable on St. John the Baptist:
“His persecutors had demanded not that he should deny Christ, but only that he should keep silent about the truth.

~St. Bede the Venerable
For Reflection:
What am I willing to endure for the sake of the truth – of abortion, euthanasia, stem cell research, same-sex unions? How can I best proclaim the truth of these given my state of life and my personal circumstances?
