Hawk Happenings

Form I Construction Visit

This week, Fr. Christopher walked with his Form I students through the former art and music rooms, now cleared and ready for demolition. The boys studied blueprints and caught a glimpse of what’s next. A new Performing Arts Center, coming soon!

Book Curling

Librarian Nancy McGinnis gives the boys a choice: return your books or return your books and play Book Curling. The boys slide their books, aim for glory, and compete for the ultimate prize… candy.

Beware the Ides of Form I

In Form I Social Studies, fifth graders were introduced to the life of Julius Caesar. Three students claimed to be the real Caesar, but only one was telling the truth. The other two were imposters. Using clues from each presentation, the rest of the class had to decide who was authentic.

Gabriel is not the first messenger of the LORD to greet someone with the phrase “The LORD is with you” (Lk 1:28). An anonymous angel hails Gideon, a young man from a poor and insignificant family, as the lad desperately hides his family’s wheat harvest from the marauding Midianites: “The LORD is with you, you mighty warrior!” (Jgs 6:12). Gideon then receives his commission to save Israel from the hand of its enemy and to be a judge over the 12 tribes.

Discerning Communion calls for truth in charity

Discerning whether to offer or receive Communion can be a challenge, spiritually and pastorally; but such discernment can always also be fruitful.

Hail Mary, full of grace

St. Luke gives us the angel Gabriel’s annunciation greeting to Mary as “Chaire, kecharitōmenē” (Lk 1:28). There are thrilling grammatical and theological mysteries packed into these two Greek words.
