In 1999, Dr. Joseph Hagan, former president of Assumption College, met with Pope John Paul II for breakfast in Rome. He told the Pope of Father Toracco, Regina Coeli Academy's (now Queen of Heaven Academy) first chaplain, teaching the students the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The blessing below reflects the future Saint's joy at hearing the news.
To witness Christ and to find joy in His company is to be truly happy and in love…Be forever happy! and in love!
The Holy Father graciously imparts his apostolic blessing upon the teachers and students and families of
Regina Coeli Academy."
