Happy Thanksgiving!

Our beloved Reverend Luke Davis, dear friend and father of alumnae Ericka Davis, gathered with our Benedictine Academy school community on Wednesday morning at St. Walburga Monastery. He inspired our hearts and minds with his encouraging words about the current events of our times. "It's about us as a people, human beings, coming together to do what needs to be done... and in the Thanksgiving Season, all of us are giving thanks to God because He has brought us to where are, where we can recognize each other as brother and sister... and together , we can accomplish anything for God, who is wonderful!"





Our Gospel Choir sang, "All praises be to the King of Kings, for the Lord our God is wonderful!"



The Student Council gathered over 12 large cardboard boxes of non-perishable food, frozen turkeys and delicious pies during the past week. All of our students and staff shared generously their blessings with those who are hungry and in need, at the local shelters and Community Food Bank.
The Lord our God is wonderful!
