‘To Whom It May Concern:
‘Re: Alexander MacDonel
| am writing this letter on behalf of Alexander MacDonell who has been a teacher at Our Lady of
Mount Carmel School and at St. Stephen School, and who is now applying for a position as vice-
principal within the Ottawa Catholic School Board.
‘Alex has been a faithful parishioner of St. Maurice for the duration of my seven years here as
pastor, and many more. He regularly attends Sunday Mass with his wife, Heather, and their six
children, and he demonstrates a strong commitment to gospel values and the teaching of the
Catholic Church. He strives to live his faith in action in the broader community as well through
his volunteer work with the City View Community Association.
‘Alex has expressed a genuine desire to nurture Catholic faith and community. He is dedicated
and certainly capable of assuming an active leadership role in the Catholic education system. in
this regard, | am pleased to recommend him as someone well-suited to serve in the capacity of
vice-principal within the Catholic Schoo! Board.
