May Prayer  
by Sister Helen Jean Novy, H.M., VP of Mission

Mary, accompany us through  May:
through the day-to-day routines and chores;
through anticipated good times
and unexpected challenges;
through celebrations of church, school,
family and friends;
through opportunities for peace-giving words
and mercy-imparting actions for others in our world;
and in quiet moments of contemplating you and Jesus
in the Gospel stories;
and in the grateful experiences of grace upon grace,
as we live in this season of resurrection hope,
inspired by you as was the early Church.
Amen.

You are also invited to see the May  Reflection by Ms. Katie Higgins '99, guest contributor for May.
Message from the President:

How wonderful the springtime feels! The sunshine and flowers seem to call people out into the neighborhood. Couples walking dogs, little kids on bicycles, moms pushing strollers. I can't really think of a more lovely time in Cleveland than the month of May.

Have you heard? 
Sister Helen Jean Novy, H.M.
interviewed for Northeast Ohio Catholic magazine.

Since May is a Marian month, and Magnificat is the only diocesan high school named after Mary's Canticle, Carol Kovach, editor of the newer diocesan publication Northeast Ohio Catholic, sat down with Sister Helen Jean to talk about "the most famous woman in history" for the April/May 2016 edition. The article references Magnificat, our Mission and the Sisters of the Humility of Mary Community. Click here  to read the article.
