The Navy brought our family to the Lowcountry almost six years ago, but Saint Peter’s Catholic School made Beaufort our true home. My children have flourished both spiritually and academically at our very special school. During our first year at Saint Peter’s, our family suffered an unexpected tragedy, and the school community embraced us. Five years later, that support and love has only grown. Maura, Abigail, and William go to school every day, feeling secure because their teachers and fellow classmates know of their loss, and are sensitive, kind, and empathetic. Faith has sustained us these past five years. It is with great joy that I witness my children’s faiths grow, especially when they participate in weekly school Mass. Their minds are challenged in the classroom, their bodies in gym class and recess, and their creativity in art and music classes. Saint Peter’s Catholic School is our second home, and I firmly believe it was Providence who sent our family to this loving place.
