Retreat Days at St. Edmond's Academy

On March 1 and 2, Bro. Mark and I traveled to St. Edmond's Academy in Wilmington, Delaware to give a retreat to the 7th and 8th grade classes.  St. Edmond's is distinguished among our other sponsored schools in that it is our only school for boys in grades K through 8.

The theme of this year's retreat was "Making God, Known, Loved, and Served."  Blessed Fr. Moreau, the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, urged his young community to be both prayerful and zealous with the burning desire to share the Gospel message.  The students at St. Edmond's, as part of the Holy Cross tradition, learned that prayer is the language of the heart and a way to experience the presence of God in their lives.
