News from the School

First Friday mass was very special this week. Monsignor Gervasio presented a new “Co-Patron” of the school—Blessed Carlo Acutis. The students have been very interested in learning about him; he is the first millennial to be beatified, and he lived until he was only 15 years old. His interests in soccer, swimming, and computers are relatable to our students, and because he was close in age to our middle schoolers, they are curious about how he is on the pathway to sainthood at such a young age. He is a role model for all, not only the students, because of his devotion to the Rosary, Mary, and the Holy Eucharist. Monsignor blessed a portrait of Carlo, which will now hang in the main hallway at the school so he is visible to all students. We look forward to learning more about Blessed Carlo in the weeks ahead.

PS. For more information on Blessed Carlo Acutis, see the page under Faith Formation > All Things Catholic > Saints. Monsignor Gervasio also gave an excellent homily with great information on Blessed Carlo Acutis, which you can find in the Homily Archive, dated November 6, 2020.
