Dear Members of the Viking Family,
As many of you are aware, a very hurtful video was posted online by a few Lake Catholic students during Saturday night's basketball game. Lake Catholic President Mark Crowley, Principal Robert Kumazec, and many members of the Lake Catholic Community have expressed their disappointment and sadness over the incident and have made it clear that they do not tolerate or condone the attitude expressed in the video. They have expressed their apologies and informed us that appropriate action will be administered to those responsible.
As Catholics, we understand that all men and women are created in the likeness and image of God. I ask that we not use this incident to continue an unproductive conversation of anger and hate, but rather reflect on ways that will allow us to embrace our differences and similarities in a positive way so that we can continue the mission of providing a strong Catholic education to all of our students. We have accepted their sincere apologies and hope that you will as well.
God Bless,
Bill Cervenik '72
VASJ President
