O God, who by the guidance of a star did on this day manifest Your only-begotten Son to the Gentiles, mercifully grant that we who know You by faith may also attain the vision of Your glorious majesty. |
While the calendar new year is underway, the Christmas season is officially at an end.
Students marked the feast of the Epiphany Friday morning, celebrating the revelation to the Maji that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Tradition has it that it took the Three Wise Men 12 days to travel to Bethlehem following his birth.
The day also commemorates Jesus's baptism in the Jordan River by John the Baptist.

All in the Family: Holy Names Instills Leadership Skills |
|
Catie Vivian '14, daughter of Board of Trustees Member Kristin Vivian, is a Marketing Development Manager at E. & J. Gallo Winery. |
|
Kristin Vivian, a member of the Board of Trustees at Academy of the Holy Names, says her daughter Catie used to be very shy girl, especially when Catie first made the transition to high school at AHN.
“I remember her crying for the first two weeks because none of her Middle School friends attended with her,” Vivian says. That would soon change. “One of the best things was the ease of getting ready in the morning. No fuss, just a uniform and hair in ponytail or bun. No pressure to look or dress a certain way. Catie could be sensitive, so this made it easy for her to fit in. Our daughter Margaret also attended, and both had a terrific experience.
“As a freshman I was intimidated to be in a new place with new people, curriculum, and expectations of me, says Catie Vivian ‘14. “After the first several weeks having been immersed and adjusted to AHN, I knew I was going to enjoy my experience over the next 4 years.”
