We Remember & We Celebrate

Our Christmas Liturgy was celebrated in memory of our beloved chemistry teacher, Mr. Garcia.  Christmas is a time of joy, but it can also be a time of sadness as we remember the passing of those we love.  If we only really believed that they no longer suffered and their spirit lives on in a new way, we could truly celebrate their new life with the Lord.



Father Augustin, a Benedictine Monk from our brother school, St. Benedict's Prep, celebrated our beautiful Liturgy at the St. Walburga Monastery Chapel.  In his prayerful homily, he reflected on the image of Jesus knocking at the door of our hearts.  The outside of the door has no handle.  Jesus must be invited into our hearts.


Christmas is a time of faith, hope and love.  These are God's Christmas gifts to each of us.  Don't forget to open your gift of Jesus, beautifully wrapped outside the door of your heart this Christmas Season.
