The 2017 Little Hawks

The 2017 Little Hawks

The Cistercian Varsity Cheerleaders hosted a record number of girls for their annual Little Hawks – Junior Hawks Cheer clinic at the Cistercian Varsity Football game against Oakridge on Friday, September 22, 2017. The Clinic was held in memory of former Cistercian Cheerleader, Maddy Limber. A portion of the proceeds from the clinic was donated to The Madeline Limber Memorial Scholarship which benefits St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School students in need of tuition assistance. That evening, the Junior Hawks opened the football game by running onto the field with the football players. Then at the halftime on the field, all the participants both Little and Junior Hawks performed a fabulous routine. It was a memorable night for all!

Social events are an intentional part of formation at Cistercian. The boys learn that their role is to make sure their guests enjoy themselves. They work hard, show respect, and practice courtesy.

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.
