Stallions in the Spotlight
Senior Bryan Franco participated in the first JPMorgan Chase Charrette held last week at the Point at Otterbein. Bryan worked along side college students from Columbus College of Art and Design and Otterbein University on developing ideas for new products to compete with Chase's global firm. Bryan's team worked on apps to promote saving for young investors.
Congrats to the following freshmen who took home the championship title in their CYO basketball league: Kaeden Fox, Alex Hatcher, Michael Roach, Aiden Cannon, Gabe Weikert, Vigo Bertolo, Brock Krietemeyer, and Grant Gibboney. They had a great season, finishing with a 10-1 record. On the CYO
12th Grade Champions team were Stallions Carson Fox, Bryan Roach and Daniel Freeman. They also had a great season and finished with a 10-1 record.
This past Saturday evening, the DeSales Run the Race Support Club hosted a "Night of Light" event for the Racers. The children enjoyed Lenten prayer stations, games, dinner, crafts and fun. Thank you to all the students who participated, especially those who helped plan, prep, and donated desserts. Also, a special thanks to V.A.T. transportation for providing busing for the Racers to and from the Run the Race Center in downtown Columbus; we could not have done this without their services.

Daily Reflection
Lord Jesus, when health in body, mind or spirit has given way to pain, I bring to You the suffering I bear, in faith, not in complaint. For each moment of my being, in health or infirmity, can be for me a time of grace, blessed for eternity. May I feel Your presence near to me, so that I'll not despair, believing in Your promise to keep me ever in Your care. Amen.
