It can be difficult to cultivate a regular habit of reading Scripture. Its literary world can seem so strange to us that we feel as though it would take forever before we could even just understand what is going on, let alone find spiritual consolation and inspiration. If you feel like that, know you’re not alone, and know there is much that can help.
We bring you a special peek at some photos from the archives (with much appreciation to Mr. Walter who manages the archives.)
After celebrating Mass recently for my University of Dallas students in a chapel just a few feet from the bones of St. Peter, I mused on what the fisherman would think of the overwhelming grandeur of the basilica that houses his mortal remains.
Over 20 students from Form V and Form VI took a trip together with their form masters, Fr. Ambrose and Fr. Augustine, to volunteer at Owenwood Farm, an urban farm in East Dallas.
Congratulations to the graduating seniors of the Class of 2024! (In case you’re keeping count, this past weekend marked Cistercian’s 55th commencement ceremonies!) Commencement speaker Chris Carlson ’85 encouraged the boys to find their “Why” as they go forth into the world. Ardere et Lucere!
The Community Service Council hosted two representatives from Catholic Charities Dallas.
We had over 40 students participate. It is an honor to see the vast artistic talent of our students and be able to share those talents with our community.
The Form II guys learned to hoist a sail, drive the boat, and tie some knots on a day with perfect weather conditions.
The Form III boys visited well over a dozen sites including the Texas Capitol Building, the Alamo, and the Pacific War Museum in Fredericksburg.Â
At Cistercian, we had an incredible view of the total eclipse on April 8.
