Form III visits Avanté

December 21, 2019 | Media

Just after taking their last exam and participating in the closing mass and ring ceremony, Form III went to share their gratitude with the residents of Avanté, a nursing and rehabilitation facility in Irving. To the great delight of the residents, they caroled, visited and delivered Christmas cards they had made earlier in Form Master period. As a special treat, they visited Fr. Bede Lackner, a Cistercian monk recovering there after a recent stroke. Fr. John was present to bring Fr. Bede the Holy Eucharist, and after praying together the group sang a few carols for him. Merry Christmas!

Clean Water Supplies

Students in Forms VI and VII packed clean water supplies, including water bottles and iodine tablets, along with hygiene products such as soap and hand sanitizer, to be sent to communities around the world where access to clean water is limited.
