Frederick Douglas, the Father of Civil Rights, insisted that “education…means emancipation". During this week of the celebration of Catholic Schools Week, we thank God for the gift of Benedictine Academy and of what we learn about our differences and the truth that we are truly one human family. Whatever hurts my sister does really hurt me, and whatever helps my sister, does help me.
Ms. Powell established a scholarship at St. Joseph's school in Mendham in memory of Corporal Kevin Reinhard, a brave soldier who recently lost his life defending the freedom of our country.
Let us pray:
Lord, our Creator,
Today, we are so grateful for this land of America, the land of the free. We pray for Corporal Ryan and all the men and women in the armed services. Let us all live in the freedom you have given to us. That we may all live in peace and liberty as one nation under you, our God. Amen.
