Alumni Mass & Tour

The view from the altar was about 250 people in attendance. Our Dominican Sisters would be proud, the assembly  was active and vocal at the Mass.  I know there were alumni or former staff who did not know of this celebration, to all of them I offer my apologies.  The oversight was not intended, we can only work with the names we have from the database. The best way to ensure you are counted in the database is to register for it at homecoming. Please come to our next homecoming!
The Mass was wonderful, and I deeply appreciate Sister Marie for playing and arranging the cantoring for the Mass. It was a prayerful and beautiful celebration.We were tempted to mourn the occasion, but the response was to celebrate and rejoice. God has been generous to Epiphany, and the best way to respond to such generosity is to rejoice. There is no denying the sorrow accompanied by our closing, but that cannot be the only and primary response to our school's glorious history. We rejoice in the gift God has given us, and we celebrate His magnanimous generosity.
The same loving Father who provided for us in the past, continues to provide for us now. We are called to open our eyes and our hearts to see His blessings. The blindness that is sadly typical of humanity we strive to overcome. We want to know, love and serve Jesus the Christ. He is the sole reason for our rejoicing! Without Christ, life is nothing. That I know and profess. Others may not have come to that epiphany, but I can say with St. Peter, "We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God."
May our Lord continue to guide us, and may we humbly accept such guidance and growth to become more than we presently are. The greatest adventure of all is Christian Discipleship. May all of us say Amen to Jesus when he calls us to sacrifice and service.
