"Jesus, Remember Me!"

As one sacred community, the entire school walked to St. Walburga Monastery Chapel where our brother Benedictine, Father Augustine,OSB, celebrated a most inspiring liturgy this past Ash Wednesday. "Jesus, Remember Me" , a personal favorite of our Principal Mr. Jennings, was on the lips and hearts of every student throughout the day. The Senior Class concluded the Mass with a surprise gift to Sister Germaine. Seniors Geraline and Alicia were filled with the Spirit as they presented and spoke the following words to Sister Germaine on behalf of the Class of 2011:

Dear Sister Germaine,

On behalf of the Senior Class, we would like to present you with this bowl from the Potter. It is the bowl that you helped make at the beginning of the school year with the rest of the Staff at the Staff Retreat. We thank you, all the Benedictine Sisters, and the entire Staff for the gift of our education at Benedictine Academy. As the clay needed to be worked and reworked, so too did you shape our lives over the past four years into the beautiful young women we are today. This bowl contains a message from each of us, one for every day in Lent. We pray that you know how much we love and appreciate you, Mr. Jennings and Benedictine Academy. May God Bless you all.
