We had the great honor of welcoming his Eminence Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo Besungu, OFM Cap to our school this morning. Cardinal Ambongo shared with our students his experience as the pastor of the Democratic Republic of Congo and his role as Cardinal of the Universal Church. What an incredible gift this morning was for our students.

This morning Fr. Sean joined us for convocation. He spoke about his high school experience and how throughout his four years, he had his conversion. Each year was in a different way, but by the end, he was ready to answer God's call for his life. Thank you Fr. Sean!

This morning, Fr. Joe McLagan joined us for convocation and spoke about being able to see clearly. Not just physically, but when you can get to a point of seeing clearly in your humanity is when you truly see. Seeing with depth, color, and nuance to further dive into your humanity. Thank you Fr. Joe for joining us!

Today, Mrs. Avery Coats, wife of math teacher Mr. Coats, gave us a wonderful convocation about her choice to live her faith daily. She was faced with this choice in college, she could choose to live her life for God everyday, or not. She still consciously makes this choice, and each of us can as well. Thank you Avery!

This morning, Seminarian Luke discussed we all will go through a "moment of existential crisis that imposes a choice upon you", particularly in your faith. You have the choice to remain on the fence or go all in, but if you remain on the fence, you can't go to Heaven. He also discussed that in order to live, you must continue to change and want to be more like God. Thank you Luke for your witness!

Today, current JPG junior and president of our Mountaineers for Life club, Ellie Abegg, gave convocation about her personal experience on the March for Life this past week. She talked about how important it is to value each life, and how a specific video touched her communicating the fact that “Never before and never again will someone like me ever be.” Thank you Ellie for sharing your experience and being a voice for the unborn!

Mr. Glassman, the Executive Director of Annunciation Heights, reflects on the well-known quote: "The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort; you were made for greatness."
