Junior Retreat

February 28, 2021 | Media

The Class of 2022 went on their annual retreat last week.

A day of prayers, discussions, and spiritual growth at The Catholic Formation and Conference Center was followed by a day of team-building at Group Dynamix where they guys jumped, climbed, balanced, competed, and worked together.

The retreat days were capped off by a morning of service at The Main Place in Irving yesterday where the Juniors helped pack food boxes to pass out to those in need here in our community.

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.
