One of the highlights of this school year so far was Oct. 21, when we gathered alumni from the classes of 1957-61 and former Crusader football players who were part of Coach Jack Schnieders’ teams legendary 32-game winning streak. What stood out the most was the love and friendship those players still have for one another as well as their classmates in attendance.

Over the past week I have been reflecting on the Second Coming of Jesus as part of our Advent journey. Part of my reflection has focused on the Kingdom of God and all that means to me. It is certainly easy for me to fall into a state of wonder, excitement and joy as I imagine how the Kingdom of God will look.

My prayer for each of us is that we take time to reflect on the great gift of the birth of Jesus. I pray, too, that we take the time to prepare our souls for the reality that Jesus will come again.

We are blessed at Helias Catholic to accompany students on their faith journey. We need to give young people an experience of God: we need to help young people see God alive in their daily lives.

I often tell our students they are with us for four years as a student but they are with us for the rest of their lives as an alumnus. The Helias Catholic legacy lives on in the men and women who have walked the halls of our school since its inception in 1956.
