Good Afternoon!

There is not a lot to report on since today is our first day back after fall break. We hope that everyone had a restful & rejuvenating few days off! We are excited to have the students back on campus!

My family and I took part in the Three Hearts Pilgrimage this past weekend. The pilgrimage is a two day, 35 mile penitential walk offering our physical and spiritual sacrifices for the defense of traditional family and the sanctity of life, while pursuing that which is Good, True and Beautiful. The picture above is 2300+ pilgrims reaching our final destination at Clear Creek Abbey after 35 grueling miles to take part in the true "Beauty in Sacrifice" of the Mass. The mass was celebrated by Cardinal Burke, which was a true "cherry on top!"

As difficult as this experience was, the graces we received (seen and unseen) have been truly amazing. There wasn't much rest, but I feel more rejuvenated than I have ever been. One, I would encourage everyone to consider the Three Hearts Pilgrimage next year. Click HERE for information. Two, I am sharing this with you to let you know how grateful I am to serve here at SPN. This experience opened my eyes and heart to a lot of things, and while praying for all the families of SPN throughout this penitential pilgrimage, I just couldn't get over how blessed we are to be a part of such a special parish and school.
