Stallions in the Spotlight

Members of the Stallions for Life Club volunteered at the annual Pregnancy Decision Health Center Banquet at Villa Milano.  They helped register guests and seat them at tables, as well as listened to some powerful pro-life speakers.  Emily Kraker and her mom also walked in the New Albany Walking Classic 1/2 Marathon this past Sunday, representing Stallions for Life and fundraised for Save the Storks, a pro-life organization. 

Last Wednesday, a portion of Interstate 270 North was named in honor or alumnus  Ryan Miller, from the class of 2003.  As a Marine, Ryan was deployed to Iraq in 2004 and then again in July 2006. Unfortunately, two months into his second tour, on September 3, 2006, Ryan gave the ultimate sacrifice when he was killed while conducting combat operations in Anbar Province.  I -270 north from U.S. 62 will now bear his name. 

Congratulations to the following students elected to represent the Freshman class on Student Council:  Jacqueline Barber,  Joseph Blubaugh,  Emma Brown,  Carmen Cua,  Hawa Diawara,  Reagan Friend,  Giuliano Iacobone,  Colin Moriarty,  Taylor Neubert,  Julia Pallone,  Mason Rickens,  Luke Weithman.

Daily Reflection

Be on familiar terms with the angels; often contemplate them invisibly present in your life, and above all love and venerate that angel who watches over the diocese to which you belong. Pray to the angels of the people with whom you live, and especially to your own guardian angel. Call on him often and praise him every day, imploring his help and support in all that you do, spiritual or temporal. The angels present your petitions before God. [cf. Tb 12:12] (INT. Part II, Ch. 16; O. III, p. 105)
