For years, the Archdiocese of Detroit and the Catholic High School League have annually honored two Catholic school educators with the Bishop John M. Quinn Teachers of the Year awards. It’s not every year, however, that those awards have been presented by the man in whose honor the recognitions are named. Bishop Quinn, 78, a former Detroit auxiliary bishop and the retired bishop of Winona-Rochester, Minn., served as director of the archdiocese’s education department from 1990 to 2003 and for more than two decades on the faculty of Sacred Heart Major Seminary. Earlier this month, Bishop Quinn — who returned to Detroit after retiring in 2022 — presented the 2024 Teachers of the Year awards in person to Beth Decoster, an English and literature teacher of St. Mary School in Royal Oak, and Marylee Petty, an English teacher at Bishop Foley High School in Madison Heights.

“Christian tradition has always considered Saint Peter and Saint Paul to be inseparable: indeed, together, they represent the whole Gospel of Christ.” - Pope Benedict XVI Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of St. Peter, the first Pope, and St. Paul, author of seven books of the New Testament (and to whom six other books of the New Testament are attributed). Together, Sts. Peter and Paul are two of the most influential saints in the history of Christianity, yet neither began as such. Scripture tells us of Peter's denial of Christ during His Passion and of Paul's persecution of Christians. Yet through the mercy and grace of God, both Peter and Paul went on to become great teachers, evangelizers, and martrys for the faith. These two saints teach us of the endless love and mercy of God and what it means to live a life in courageous pursuit of Christ. Sts. Peter and Paul, pray for us!

Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God. —Luke 1:63-64 Happy Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist!

St. John the Baptist, pray for us!
