A PRAYER FOR AUGUST
BY SR. HELEN JEAN NOVY, HM
|
You are a God of unimaginable Loving-kindness.
The eyes of all look to you
And you give them food in a fruitful season.
May August bring a fruitful harvest for all.
You are a God of Steadfast love.
You open your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
May summer soothe any wounds across the world.
You are a God overflowing with compassion
May we live each new day
with renewed confidence
that You accompany us
and even speak through us.
May we offer words
of promise, hope, and joy
flowing from our faith and hope in You.
Amen.
Italicized verses from Ps.145

CAMPUS UPDATES: HVAC CONSTRUCTION & SEEDS OF SERVICE HARVEST
|
When our students begin classes on Monday, August 19, their classrooms and athletic facilities will be air-conditioned for the first time.
Using state-of-the-art green technology, this new HVAC system will not only cool the classrooms, but assure that Magnificat's heating mechanisms will be more environmentally sustainable. As part of the project, all classrooms were also retrofitted with new LED lighting. Monitoring this new system will be incorporated into our engineering curriculum as a real-world learning opportunity for the students.
This summer, our Seeds of Service Club has been hard at work under the leadership of our Horticultural Program Coordinator, Karen Ryan Tigue '85.
In the campus "Hoop House," the club has harvested over 40 pounds of vegetables to date to donate to local food banks!

"BURIED TREASURE AT MAGNIFICAT PART I: THE YEARBOOK CACHE"
|
"There’s something exciting about unearthing a buried treasure. So when Maxine Kantor from Magnificat’s Counseling Office tipped me off that the third floor might be home to some “Archives-worthy treasures,” I jumped at the chance to join her on a visit to this part of the building. Of course, we aren’t talking about buried pirate treasure here, but treasures from Magnificat’s past. Let’s dig in and explore together..."
