On February 23rd, Fr.Tom welcomed the 3rd grade class from St. Francis Xavier School. During the tour, Fr. Tom focused on the history of the Shrine and the lives of the saints. The children had the opportunity for individual, quiet prayer at the saints' shrines. We can't forget to mention the fun of shopping at the Shrine's gift shop and eating lunch in the St. Rita High School dining hall!!
Thank you to Mrs. Walsher for choosing the Shrine and to her students for their wonderful behavior.





This is such an excellent post about St. Francis Xavier School's field trip. It's funny, I was just talking to someone about St. Francis Xavier yesterday, so the timing feels almost uncanny. You've really managed to demystify so much about the experience, and I genuinely appreciate that https://adstandards.com.au/codes-and-cases/codes I especially found your point about how different generations might approach St. Francis Xavier quite thought-provoking. It makes me wonder if younger students today connect with his story in a different way than perhaps my grandparents did. Thinking about it, a before-and-after case study of St. Francis Xavier’s impact, maybe focusing on specific aspects of his teachings or his journey, could be incredibly powerful for illustrating growth and change. I'm definitely saving…
