Bishop Ireton Commissioned As First Oblate-Affiliated School
[From: Schools]Following last year’s reassignment of Father Matthew Hillyard, OSFS, to a parish in New Jersey, Bishop Ireton was – for the first time in 44 years – without a priest as a principal. Ireton’s principals have all been from the order of St. Francis de Sales. In an effort to retain the heritage, a Salesian Discipleship Team was created to develop a new set of guidelines for the school. Called the “Live Jesus Charter” the plan seeks to continue to teach young men and women to “Live Jesus” as according to the distinctive spirituality of St. Francis de Sales.

General Assembly Report – Weekly Update Feb. 23

Another good bill authorizes permit-issuing authorities to allow storm-water permit holders to comply with nonpoint nutrient offsets that have been certified under the Chesapeake Bay Nutrient Exchange Program. These offsets must be in the same tributary and offered to those who have demonstrated that the applicant has achieved a level of effort. The committee and staff worked hard this year and should be congratulated for a good job.
