MINISTRY & SERVICE
From the Chaplain's Office
This past week, the Sacrament of Reconciliation was offered to students during their religion classes. If your student wanted to receive the sacrament and was unable, they can email Fr. Bob to schedule an appointment during homeroom or before/after school.
This Sunday, we hear the story of the woman caught in adultery. No matter what our sins might be, the command that Jesus gives to the woman is the command that Jesus gives to us: "Go, and from now on do not sin any more.” Consider giving yourself a 5-minute retreat by pondering this beautiful story of forgiveness and mercy with the  video found at this link .

Fr. Bob Jones, SM, Chaplain | email

Kairos
