On November 19th, grades 9th- 12th

attended a special Mass for our

“Changing Your World” retreat. Af-

ter the Mass the students and faculty

walked down to the Knights of Co-

lumbus where we had guest speaker,

Sister Regina Ann Brummel speak to

us. Sister Regina Ann had us write down a memory to get in

touch with ourselves. After we all shared, we watched a mu-

sic video. After our Thanksgiving lunch that was provided by

Mrs. Powers and the lunch room staff, the students split up

into 3 groups; creative writing, shirt design, and skits. Once

we came together as a whole group we all shared our accom-

plishments, then wrapped it up after a closing prayer and

walked back to school. The retreat was an overall success,

the students had fun, learned a lot, and may have even came

a little closer as a student body. We all look forward to the

retreat next year. God Bless!

As Time Goes On

Failure isn’t failure anymore, it’s just a disappointment to all: Adults, Young Adults, Children, Toddlers and

Babies, but that’s life and no one can do anything about it except for the one person in the world which is you!

There’s only one you in this world. Even if you have a twin, twins have different personalities, so step up and

defend your friends and maybe your enemies. Word of advice: Turn the other cheek! Even if someone hurts

you, just turn the other cheek, sooner or later they will get tired of “smacking” you and they will stop. Don’t

let anyone take your time to learn away from you, they have no right to!
