Gregory Stowe (Pastor) Summary Julie and Fr. Stowe share what a healthy pastor–principal partnership really looks like: shared mission, constant communication, honest disagreement behind closed doors, and a united front in public. They explain how parish and school can function as one community, why “no surprises” matters, and how trust is built over time—especially through hard seasons. Key Takeaways One campus, one mission: parish + school thrive when they act as one body. No secrets, no surprises: steady communication prevents division and drama. Disagree privately, support publicly: unity strengthens culture and trust. Model collaboration at the top: staff and families follow what leaders demonstrate. Reciprocity matters: schools should actively support parish life (service, visibility, relationships). Practical Advice For pastors: listen deeply, discern wisely, and set the principal up to succeed. For principals: be direct, ask questions, admit mistakes, and stay focused on what’s best for kids.
