Last week in ELA, our 7th graders read "An American Childhood," a story about a young girl's love for exploring the world around her through the lens of a microscope.

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord. "The Lord and ruler is coming; kingship is his, and government and power." With these words the Church proclaims that today's feast brings to a perfect fulfillment all the purposes of Advent. Epiphany, therefore, marks the liturgical zenith of the Advent-Christmas season.

On January 2nd, our teachers had the opportunity to recharge and reflect at our annual faculty retreat. Faculty and staff were joined by Fr.
