SHAPE Seniors

Our SHAPE Seniors started the day with kindness, hosting a warm and welcoming breakfast for the Freshman class! As they enjoyed a delicious meal together, they also spread love beyond our campus by writing heartfelt Valentine’s cards for residents at a local nursing home. A beautiful blend of community, connection, and service!

Have you ever felt alone on the spiritual journey? Who could possibly understand the challenges you have been through and are currently in? Praise be to God, we have a spiritual team and it’s called the Communion of Saints. People just like you that have toiled through the obstacles of this life, now bask in eternal triumph and are accessible to you! Our Lord gifted us with this heavenly team of collaborative partners to help bare the earthly load. How often do we approach these holy men and women as dependable teammates, capable of the teamwork in bringing God’s Kingdom come? Do not delay! St. Joseph, patron of fathers, pray for us. St. Monica, patron of mothers, pray for us. St Valentine, bishop and martyr, pray for us on this your feast day. 

Be sure to keep up with all things Crusader!
