Saint Michael Students Prepare for Pascha

TV — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:40:02 +0000

On the 29th and 30th of March, Saint Michael students prepared spiritually for Pascha by attending the school’s annual Lenten retreats. Nestled in a quiet countryside, St. Mary of the Annunciation Catholic Church in Ladysmith, VA, provided the right setting for faith-filled discussions, communal prayer, quiet contemplation and the celebration of holy Mass with school chaplain Fr. Peter Reynierse. Led by Ms. Erin Wilson and Mr. Patrick Looby, the retreats provided the students the opportunity to reflect upon the consequences for them of the Lord’s gift of salvation.

Preparation for the Paschal mysteries continued Maundy Thursday with recitation of the Litany from The Book of Divine Worship and confessions with Fr. Peter thereafter.
