Makers' Mondays

Stallions in the Spotlight

Congrats to freshmen Ayan Comedy and Atticus Schuler who earned "Top 20"  honors at a Central Ohio Freshmen Basketball Showcase event this weekend.

This summer seniors Aidan Valentine, Noah Thompson and Christian Grube attended Buckeye Boys State at Miami University. These young men learned about Ohio government by operating the agencies and levels of a mythical state government, the "51st State" themselves. Attending Buckeye Girls State this past June at the University of Mount Union were seniors Paula Clark and Annie Hazelton. Buckeye Girls State is designed to educate Ohio's young women in the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of good citizenship.

Daily Reflection 

Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, In Your love, please bless the priests Given to Your flock to guide; And the deacons ordained to serve, Bringing care and justice to abide. Bless, too, the men and women Consecrated to serve You Through sacred vows, prayer, and good works, they devotedly pursue. I ask that Mary and Joseph, Join with me now in prayer That families will nurture life with faith In Your uplifting care. Among us who follow You, Please favor with strength and grace Those in single life as a way, Of holiness they embrace. For all who seek their vocations, Please help them to discern Your guidance at every crossroads And Your presence at every turn. Amen.
