Return to Me...

The Sophomore class headed to the Ramapo Mountains to retreat with our Lord at the Franciscan Spirituality Center. It was a grace-filled day as they followed Nemo and reflected on their own need to return to the love of God during this Lenten Season.

Eddie, our Retreat Director, guided their hearts through our Benedictine Mission to listen, learn, love, and lead. As they prepared to become the new leaders, Big Sisters, of our incoming freshmen next year, they experienced the power of becoming a real team, united in the Spirit of God. As a remembrance of their responsibility to be sister to one another, family, they each received a live fish to care for and love. At Benedictine Academy, we believe that Prayer and Eucharist are the foundation of what it means to be in communion with Jesus and one another.
