Summer Greetings

We hope you are having a joyful summer. As we leave June behind, and prepare to celebrate the United States’s 250^th anniversary, we have the opportunity to reflect on two great early Saints: St. Peter and St. Paul (Solemnity – June 29^th). We rejoice in the good of our own culture and country while recognizing we are part of an eternal kingdom that will never fade. Our hope is in Christ, and His Church has the authority and graces to draw us nearer to Him. We are thankful for the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus; let us continue to pray for our country and all nations.

Honoring Mary this May

As we close out Mary’s month of May, we reflect on Mary’s Visitation to Elizabeth, when the very words that make up the Ave Maria were first uttered followed by Mary’s Magnificat. This is a beautiful feast day that reminds us of Mary’s charity toward her cousin, Elizabeth. She traveled to help her during her time of need, and God blessed Our Lady with the companionship of a dear cousin who instantly rejoiced in Mary’s profound news. May we enter summer with charity in our hearts, devotion to Our Lord and Lady, and encounter many opportunities for fellowship. Here are a few resources for reflecting on the Visitation with your family:

Great Books Program

Subject Spotlight: Great Books, Entering the Great Conversation. Our Great Books program connects students to works from the great authors of Catholic and Western Civilization, but our courses are much more than open-ended discussion! These courses are 3-in-1 classes that integrate Literature, Philosophy, and Theology. Our teachers take an active role in exemplifying how a Christian engages with the great questions; They hold that there is truth and defend it! Courses are organized by historical period, progressing from antiquity to modernity, but arcing back to tradition to find the answers to the quandaries of today. Students learn to read, listen, speak, dispute, and relish the true, good, and beautiful things that our tradition has to offer. Read more about our Great Books program here and here.
