Students travel to Lisieux, France

A favorite pilgrimage destination of students is Lisieux, France, the home of St. Therese. They go to this obscure village to touch and feel the mission, intercession, and love of this "little"Doctor of the Church.

For many it is one of their favorite places in Europe, and almost all leave changed for the better. They are touched by her example, words, and ardent charity.

Some of her most well-known quotes are as follows:

"Be not afraid to tell Jesus that you love Him; even though it be without feeling, this is the way to oblige Him to help you, and carry you like a little child too feeble to walk."

"Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing."

"Jesus needs neither books nor Doctors of Divinity in order to instruct souls; He, the Doctor of Doctors, He teaches without noise of words."

"For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever."

"I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul."

"Let us see life as it really is... It is a moment between two eternities..."

"You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions,
nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them.”

Flag Football Time

The flag football season is off to a roaring start with only obstacle being the seasonal daylight which is rapidly diminishing. Enjoy some of the pictures of the students--and the fans--watching and playing the game.

Poland Trip: Krakow Pictures

The greatest citizen of Krakow Poland is by far the late Pope, John Paul II. Before having taken over the Holy See as Pope John Paul II, Karol Wojtyla had lived in Krakow for four decades – practically through his entire adult life until his assumption of the papacy. Here he spent his formative years as a student and then as a young priest, a theologian and a philosopher, a playwright and a poet. And here he made most of the breathtaking ascent from the position of a humble curate at Krakow’s church of St. Florian’s to university professor to Krakow bishop to cardinal to the Vicar of Christ.

The student's visited and toured Krakow on their excursion to Poland. Some pictures are below:

Summer Fun at the Mondsee

Besides being one of the warmest lakes in Austria, the Mondsee is famous to Americans for being the site of the "wedding scene" in the wildly popular musical, The Sound of Music.

On our way back from Salzburg and Munich, we made a stop at the Mondsee to celebrate Mass, and enjoy a feast--both literally and metaphorically. We did indeed feast on roast pork, austrian dumplings, soup, salad, and strudel, but we also feasted on the beautiful but cool water of the crystal-clear, drinking-water quality lake.

The weather happened to be beautiful as well so enjoy the pictures below:
