Writings from Fr. Walter…
Meet Our New Principal
Tony Wilkinson
I want to first say how excited I am to be the next principal of Our Lady of Peace
Catholic School. I have heard so many wonderful things about the children, parents,
and staff, as well as about the school and vibrant parish community.
My wife, Laura, and I will celebrate our eighteenth wedding anniversary this summer. Laura is a 4th grade special education teacher in Northlake. We have thirteen
year old twin daughters, Abigail and Katherine, who are in the eighth grade.
My family and I have been members of St. Joseph Parish in Downers Grove for the
past seventeen years. I am a member of the Knights of Columbus and serve as a
Eucharistic Minister. Laura has served as a Religious Education teacher for the past
eight years.
I have over seven years of experience as a principal or an assistant principal. This past school year, I served as
principal of St. Joseph Catholic School in Bradley. Prior to becoming an administrator, I was a teacher for fourteen years. In this role, I taught middle school social studies, science, and language arts. I also coached boys’ basketball and softball while I was a teacher.
As an administrator and teacher, I have always believed in expecting excellence from myself and from all of those
with and for whom I work. I believe that if you don’t expect excellence, you will never achieve this goal. I will
always push myself to be a better person, father, husband, and school leader. I also push our children and their
teachers to be better and to grow every day.
Being a Catholic School principal means the world to me. I have been a public school principal and decided a few
years ago to make the change because my faith means that much to me. I enjoy sharing my faith with my students, their parents, the staff, and other parishioners. As I was contemplating the move to Catholic schools, I was
listening to the Gospel reading (Matthew Chapter 15) one Sunday. You may recall that in this Gospel reading, a
man gives his servants talents. Two of them increase their talents and the third hides the talents given to him. At
that time, I determined that I needed to share my talents at a Catholic school.
I believe that the most important roles that every administrator takes on, especially a Catholic school principal, are
those of communicator and collaborator. As the new principal of Our Lady of Peace, I look forward to working
with each of you to help make Our Lady of Peace an even better place for our children than it already is.
As a person, I believe the best role that each of us must serve in is as a positive role model for others to follow. If
I were to use a couple of words to describe my personality, I would include the words positive, energetic, and
child-centered. I am easy to talk to and am always open to ways to improve myself and our school.
Again, I am extremely excited to become the next principal of Our Lady of Peace Catholic School. I look forward
to working with everyone to make our school an even better place for all of us to grow in our faith and as individuals. If you would like to meet me I will be speaking after all of the Masses the weekend of April 23 & 24!

Sunday Evening Mass is Returning!
Beginning, Sunday, May 8th, Our Lady of Peace will be offering the
Holy Eucharist at a 6:30PM Mass.
This is a wonderful opportunity for people who work late on Saturdays or
Sunday mornings. It is perfect for college students home for the summer
and families that have early morning obligations.
Therefore, we need many people to come forward to make it a joyful, prayerful and vibrant
liturgy.
We need Eucharistic Ministers for both species. We need lectors, greeters/ushers, artists, and enthusiastic singers
and musicians and a musical director. If you have college kids coming home for the summer, please let them
know. If you have been in a high school band or choir, please join us. We will start training and rehearsals soon.
Please email Pat Kenny at [email protected] and spread the word. Please see future bulletins for details
Saturday, April 30 will be the LAST Mass for our Saturday 6:30PM Mass.
All Mass Intentions scheduled for the 6:30PM Saturday Mass will be transferred over to the
Sunday 6:30PM Mass.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We ask that you prayerfully remember
the efforts of those dedicated in making this Mass a successful option for our parishioners and
non-parishioners alike. May the Lord bless you and your day!
Men’s weekend is 4/23 & 4/24. Questions:
Call Pat Kenny at 708-567-5788.
