Blessing of the animals
The Feast of St. Francis, patron saint of animals, is on Saturday, Oct. 4. Fr. Paul offered blessings for family pets during Friday carpool.
Freshman Mixer
Hundreds of Ursuline and Hockaday students joined our Form V boys for the Freshmen Mixer last Saturday, outnumbering them at least four to one. The evening was hosted entirely by the freshmen, marking their first high school social.
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.
