A Letter from Our President
Dear Magnificat Community,
I hope you are staying warm during these frigid days!
As you'll see throughout this edition of the Magnificat Monthly, January was a busy month for our students both in and out of the classroom. I hope you enjoy reading about our burgeoning entrepreneurs and computer programmers whose skills earned them high ranks this month in the Veale Youth Entrepreneurship Forum and Hyland Software Hackathon. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments!
February is always an exciting time at Magnificat. Over the last two weeks we have been receiving applications for admission, and later this month we will officially invite members of the next freshman class into the Magnificat High School legacy. In the
Magnificat,
Mary proclaims "From this day, all generations will call be blessed." With each passing year, it is our great joy to invite more young women into the generations-long tradition of our Mission to learn, lead, and serve in the spirit of Mary's
Magnificat
.
In support of this Mission, I hope you will be able to join me here at Magnificat for our 30
th
Annual Gala on March 23! The Blue Streak Disco Ball is sure to be a great time that will raise critical funds for financial assistance and the holistic educational programming that is unique to Magnificat. I look forward to seeing you there!
Gratefully,
Moira Clark '77

A Prayer for February
by Sr. Helen Jean Novy, H.M., Vice President of Mission
February, the floating month
often lending parts of itself to Lent,
is fully committed this season
to themes of Ordinary Time!
Christ, You would shake us up this February
so that the goodness in each of us
would continue to rise up
enabling us to take You to our worlds.
Let us know how beloved we are.
Warm what is cold in our lives and world.
Soothe all that is aching and forlorn.
Rejuvenate all that is listless.
Thus, fired with the energy of Your Holy Spirit,
we may see with the light of faith
that all will be well
if we seek to follow Your will. Amen.
We invite you to read the
February Reflection
"Apocalyptic Thinking and Prophetic Acting: The Immeasurable Value of Prayer."
Please join us this month on Wednesday, February 13 for the recitation of the Rosary at 6:30 p.m. in the Chapel. All are welcome!
Alumnae and friends:
registration is open for the Lenten Night of Reflection, "Our Accompanying God: The Meaning of the Cross," with Sr. Helen Jean Novy on Monday, March 11.

Magnificat Entrepreneurs Advance Big Ideas

Twenty-eight semifinalists representing 13 schools were selected from a pool of 205 entries in which students explored and developed big ideas for business ventures and social enterprises.
