2022 Reunions Weekend: All Photos

June 17, 2022 | Alumni News

2022 Reunions Weekend was so much fun, and it was wonderful to see everyone again!

Golfers showed up ready to go for the Hawks Booster Club and Alumni Golf Tournament at Bear Creek on Friday, and a couple of quick showers deterred no one! Thanks to all the amazing golfers who made the tournament a success. This event would be impossible without the support of alumni, and we raised over $8,000 for scholarships!

We started Saturday off with Fr. Bernard and the 5K. The basketball, soccer and quiz bowl tournaments followed later in the day with the help of J.P. Walsh, Jack Dorn ’05, Fr. Gregory, Fr. Augustine and Philip Agtarap. We wrapped up the day with barbecue, an obstacle course, face painting and balloons. It really was a great day!

On Sunday, alumni gathered for a Mass celebrating alumni families, the Memorare Society, and Fr. Denis, especially. It was a beautiful Mass and tribute to Fr. Denis. It was also heartwarming to see everyone at the reception after in the Abbey Courtyard.

Freedom and the rise of contemporary gambling

"Freedom and the rise of contemporary gambling" by Fr. John for The Texas Catholic. Gambling is growing in our country — and quickly. My impression is that we have work to do to be informed about what is happening and to let ourselves be formed by what the Church...

Thy Kingdom Come

The more I reflect on the petitions of the Our Father, the more I’m convinced that I have no idea what I’m praying when I mumble those words multiple times every day.

The current object of my loving mystification is “Thy kingdom come.” In an effort to be slightly less intimidated by this vast and marvelous petition, I will arrange my musings as responses to the time-honored journalistic questions.
