I
recently came across an address Pope John Paul II gave to a group of American high school students back in 1979, and I plan to share it with the Bishop Chatard staff. It speaks to the role of Catholic education and the responsibility young people have to take what they learn out into the world. I would like to share portions of that address with you this week.

Join Bishop Chatard in a trip “Back to the 80’s”
From the era that brought the world the Rubik's Cube, Max Headroom and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes the "totally awesome" musical
Back to the 80's
. In the style of movies such as
Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller's Day Off
and
The Karate Kid
,
Back to the 80's
is a nostalgic romp through the greatest hits of the decade.
Relive senior year at William Ocean High School through the eyes of now 30-something Corey Palmer. 17-year-old Corey is madly in love with his next-door neighbor Tiffany, one of the coolest girls in the school, but she is too busy mooning over athletic and good looking Michael Feldman. Michael is the kind of guy that Corey and his two best friends dream of being. However, while they may not be the coolest guys in school, Corey and the guys are glad they aren’t Feargal McFerrin III, whose best friend is his computer and who believes the crazy notion that one day CDs will replace cassette tapes.
Throw in a
Star Wars
dream sequence, high-energy dance routines, the obligatory 80s party scene, an overabundance of blue eye-shadow and hairspray, as well as some of the most popular songs ever written, and the result is a musical that will delight and amuse audiences of any age.
