Stories from the Schoolyard
Visit from Archbishop Henning
We had a fantastic visit from Archbishop Henning last Monday. He said a beautiful Mass and then visited with every classroom in the school. He toured our construction site and had lunch at LCA, too. Students were extremely well behaved, both in Mass and in their classrooms, asked great questions and were engaged and motivated to speak with him. It was all around great day to be at LCA!

Prefects and Class Representatives
Our 15 prefects and 7 class representatives have started meeting! Student leaders were engaged in the Archbishop's Visit, sitting with our younger students and helping them through the Mass. They were also pleased to wear their new vests that show their responsibilities.
Prefects are 8th Grade students who help our younger students, help their teachers, set a good example, are motivated and dedicated to LCA and push themselves to be better every day. These students are seen as role models and leaders and are looked at as trustworthy, kind, responsible and students who embody our core values. Our Class Representatives are students in 7th Grade who will help the younger students have their voices heard at LCA. They will meet with younger students and bring their ideas to the older students. They are role models who younger students can look up to.
Confirmation Updates
The Archdiocese of Boston has shifted the age at which young people receive the Sacrament of Confirmation to the end of Grade 8.
Confirmation preparation programs take place in parishes (as opposed to at LCA). Each parish determines the length of its Confirmation preparation program (one year during Grade 8 . . . or two years in Grades 7 and 8 . . . or other). To find out about your parish’s Confirmation Preparation program, all Grade 7 and 8 Catholic families should inquire and register at their parishes.
We hope all our Catholic students will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at the end of Grade 8!
