We were pleased to celebrate with nine of our students who received the Sacraments at our neighboring parish yesterday. Bishop Cruz anointed the young people with the Holy Spirit and Father Aurelio offered the body and blood of Jesus for the very first time to many who participated in the RCIA program.
It was a moving experience to hear the voices of many different cultures pray the Our Father in their own languages as the apostles had done over 2,000 years ago in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost. Bishop Cruz challenged the young people to live their faith boldly, noting that today was only the first day of their new faith journey with the Lord.
At Benedictine Academy, we teach that prayer and Eucharist lead to Spiritual fulfillment. We also believe and proclaim that Jesus Christ is the First Teacher in our school. Faith is fully operative in our hallways and classroom. It is the reason for our existence and the guiding force in over 95 years of academic excellence. We are proud to be a Catholic High School and give thanks to God for the opportunity to serve Him.
