2) Mass and Campus Wide Prayer
We are excited to announce that we will be starting Mass on campus with students during our 6th period homerooms on a rotating basis. Based on class sizes and social distancing requirements, we have 3 groups that will rotate weekly on attending Mass in the chapel with Bishop Carmody during homeroom on Tuesdays.
From Mr. Garcia
Many students and parents are familiar with Catholic universities in Texas, such as St. Mary's University, Our Lady of the Lake University, the University of the Incarnate Word, and St. Edward's University to mention a few. Both students and parents may be surprised when they learn about the vast number of Catholic universities across the country. For students who are still exploring their college options, an excellent resource is the listing of Catholic universities at the United States Conference of Bishops website. The Catholic universities are listed by name and location. The web hyperlink is rather long, so we provide it here: https://www.usccb.org/committees/catholic-education/catholic-colleges-and-universities-united-states#geo

Senior Leadership Retreat
Special thanks to the theology department and faculty members that made our Senior Leadership Retreat yesterday profoundly powerful and heartwarming. We have an amazing group of faith filled seniors and I am so excited to see what their future holds. In this age of social distancing and being so disconnected at times, the retreat was like an oasis in the desert.
Peace,
Fr Peter
