“I am deeply grateful to have such excellent schools and great teachers,” said Bishop Curtis Guillory, SVD. “No amount of money can buy the love that teachers have for the children they teach.”
Bishop Guillory hosted the Teacher Appreciation Banquet at the Eleganté hotel in Beaumont to thank the Catholic school teachers and volunteers for their dedication to furthering Catholic education.
At the banquet, each school presented awards for Teacher of the Year, Steward of the Year, and their retirees.
