Back to School Mass
During his homily at St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School's K-12 back to school Mass on August 11th, St. Anne Church Parochial Vicar Fr. Brian O'Shaughnessy inspired students to "study hard, take notes, make new friends, strengthen old relationships, take on new challenges, and risk failing, but never accept failure as a final answer."
He also encouraged students to start each day in prayer, and thank God for the gift of attending St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Mother Teresa's canonization will occur on September 4th. St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School students are learning more about her life and her mission.
Here's a great resource if you'd like to know more about this soon-to-be-saint, too.
Wise Words
You and I have been created for greater things.
We have not been created to just pass through this life without aim. And that greater aim is to love and be loved.
Give yourself fully to God, who will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your weakness.
Never think that a small action done to your neighbor is not worth much. It is not how much we do that is pleasing to God, but how much love we put into the doing.
-Mother Teresa

St. Anne-Pacelli is a one-to-one technology device high school! Each of our high school students has his/her own Chromebook and utilizes it every day in classes. Through the use of Chromebooks, students are building college resumes, keeping digital writing portfolios, and becoming accustomed to checking emails daily through their school accounts. Students are also able to more easily maintain their GA 411 accounts, keep a calendar of upcoming exams, and have access to homework. Class assignments are posted and submitted through Google Classroom and students are building knowledge and practicing essential research skills. Our St. Anne-Pacelli Vikings will be better prepared for college as they master these new standards and trends present in higher education.

Funding the Fight Against Hunger
St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic High School National Art Honor Society students and Art Teacher Mrs. Allison Wilbanks presented a check for $2,200 - money raised at the school's annual Empty Bowl Luncheon & Day of the Arts in March - to St. Anne Community Outreach on August 16th. The primary mission of St. Anne Community Outreach, a ministry of St. Anne Catholic Church, is to provide food and clothing to Muscogee County residents in need. Because St. Anne Com
munity Outreach partners with Feeding the Valley, the center can provide 3.5 meals for just $1. Thus, the $2,200 raised at the Empty Bowl Luncheon & Day of the Arts will help provide 7,700 meals to hungry people in the Columbus, Ga. community!
