A PRAYER FOR SEPTEMBER
BY KATIE HIGGINS '99

Come, Holy Spirit.
Energize us with your breath of life.  

Come, Holy Spirit.
Bring comfort to our places of hopelessness and fear.

Come, Holy Spirit.
Awaken us to the wonders of your love in our midst.

Come, Holy Spirit.
Embolden us to live courageously and faithfully as your disciples.

Come, Holy Spirit. 
Mold us together into one community of faith where all are welcome.

Amen.

BLUE STREAKS IN THE NEWS
Cara Heisterkamp '24 Makes
Final Eight at USGA Women's
Amateur Championship
In the Round of 16 of the USGA Women's Amateur Championship, 15-year-old Cara Heisterkamp '24 beat out a top 30-ranked world amateur to become the youngest player in the tournament's Round of 8. About her experience, Cara said, "There are few words that can describe the emotions I went through during the week of the US Women's Amateur Championship. From relief, to extreme joy and shock, to in the end, feeling surrounded by all-encompassing love not only from my family, but my whole community. I am grateful for all the support that I received from Magnificat and especially appreciative for the support I received from God. I could not have done what I did without either."

Calista Zajac '23 Takes
First Place at Fifth Annual
Shining Star CLE
In her third appearance in Menorah Park's Shining Star CLE singing competition, Calista Zajac '23 was voted into the first-place spot, winning the grand prize of $10,000 and a chance to perform with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra at Severance Hall. The competition raises money for the Montfiore memory care unit, a cause that has become important to Calista over the years: "Shining Star CLE has meant so much to me over the past three years and being able to be involved in this amazing organization has been such a blessing." Included in the grand prize is an additional $2,500 that will go toward Magnificat Performing Arts. Congratulations and thank you, Calista!
