MARIANIST MOMENT
Blessed William Joseph Chaminade
"Be holy for I am holy (Lv 11:44; 1 Pet 1:16). You are all fair; there is not a spot in you (Song 4:9). How beautiful you are, my love, how beautiful you are (Song 4:1). Twice beautiful, because of the purity of body and soul which God requires of those who dedicate themselves to him. Purity of body which should be understood in a general way of purity of the senses. . . . Purity of soul which should be understood as freedom from all vices—pride, avarice, vanity, and so on. The reason for this is the great holiness of God to whom we are vowed. . . ."
We ask that you keep the following members of our school community in your prayers:
  • Faculty John Mohr
  • Jack Higgins '25
  • Board Member Rev. Msgr. Jack Costello
  • Andrew Knirr '21
  • Karen Gauvain, wife of faculty Dave Gauvain
In Memoriam
Please pray for the repose of the souls of our dearly departed, including Richard Dietz '70.
We invite you to submit prayer requests, including any special intentions.
