Get Colorized

This past Thursday night, a large portion of the junior class attended “Get Colorized,” an evening of spiritual recollection and Eucharistic adoration. The night commenced with Build-Your-Own-Burgers followed by talks from Mr. Peter Carriero ‘96 and Bro. Ryszard Decowski, S.M. ‘77. The theme of the night was learning how to deal effectively with change and unexpected events in one’s life, an important lesson as juniors begin the college application process.
