Our students and faculty gathered to pray the rosary for Mrs. Phyllis Mitchiner - a spectacular example of kindness and grace, the most beautiful of souls, and the longtime matriarch of True Cross Catholic School. There are very few True Cross Families that have not had the pleasure of being welcomed by her warm smile and tender hugs. She was, as one of our students said, "ineffable", too great for words. To the Mitchiner Family: Thank you for sharing you Mom and Meemaw with us. We love you and you are in our prayers.

Our first day of the 2019 - 2020 School Year is in the books and what a great day it was! "Best day EVER!!!", "Best TEACHER ever!!!", and "I'm so excited!!!" are just a few of the comments repeatedly heard as our day concluded. We are so very blessed to have our students and their families and our faculty and staff here at True Cross Catholic School this school year. We, too, are so excited! Happy New Year Crusaders!!!

Where do you even begin to announce the retirement of such a legacy as Phyllis Mitchiner? She has been the welcoming face of True Cross Catholic School for 46 years. Not only has Ms. Phyllis devoted these countless years to our school, but she also attended True Cross Catholic School herself, as did her own children.  We understand that it is difficult to imagine True Cross Catholic School without Mrs. Mitchiner in the front office, but rest assured that Ms. Phyllis will maintain her constant presence at our school as she stays involved in the role of “MeeMaw”  to her grandchildren and great grandchildren who are current students here. Please feel free to leave a message for Mrs. Mitchiner with the Quick Link to the left on our home page - "Messages for Mrs. Mitchiner"

The form is available under Quick Links for Crusaders.
