Today was OLV’s annual book bag Mass, where our school backpacks were blessed as our parish youth and teachers embark on another year of learning and growth.🎒
With a special blessing and wise pastoral advice from Father Rich — focusing on the healing power of Christian forgiveness and the importance of setting a holy example for others — we pray these students are blessed with a successful, Christ-centered school year. May their minds be opened to truth and their hearts open to God's grace.
“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16
Please keep all of our students, teachers, and school families in your prayers as they begin this new academic journey. 🙏❤️🙏🏻

TRIVIA ANSWER: Who was the 13th-century Dominican friar often called the “Angelic Doctor”? The correct answer is B) St. Thomas Aquinas.
Many people today mistakenly argue that religion requires "blind faith" and that science, logic, and reasoning contradict Christian belief. St. Thomas Aquinas is our ultimate defense against this myth. He proved that human reason and divine faith work hand-in-hand because they both come from the same source: God.

Born to an Italian noble family, Thomas shocked his relatives by joining the Dominican friars, a group dedicated to poverty and preaching. He went on to become one of the greatest minds in human history, writing defenses of the faith that still form the bedrock of Catholic theology today. Despite his towering intellect, he remained deeply humble, famously declaring near the end of his life that all his academic writing felt like "so much straw" compared to the sheer beauty of the mystical visions God granted him during Mass.

Painting: “Saint Thomas Aquinas, Fountain of Wisdom” (1648) by Antoine Nicolas is displayed in Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.
