The focus of the Spiritual Enrichment Committee is to supplement the students' knowledge of our Catholic Faith (saints, traditions and practices) through monthly assemblies and special events. This committee was founded in January of 2006, inspired by Mrs. Maury's vision to take advantage of our special role as a Catholic school.
The Committee has been able to draw on many talents to enrich our children's understanding of their faith. In the past year, we have seen St. Thomas Aquinas (in the person of Father Jean Ehret) and St. Patrick (played convincingly by our own Mr. Kennedy)
visit our school and make real the messages of these two Saints. In March, they sponsor a traditional "St. Joseph's Table". This tradition, while providing yummy treats for our students, also teaches the lesson of sharing what we have with the less fortunate. (Operation Hope receives a share of
our table.) In May, students from Notre Dame High School came and spoke about their experience in building homes in Appalachia. We've been able to have speakers that have enlightened us on the meaning of the Miraculous Medal, Fatima and the Rosary and Divine Mercy Sunday. We were very fortunate to have Father Charles Allen from Fairfield University come and inspire us on the Gifts of The Holy Spirit. Also not to be forgotten, the Spiritual Enrichment Committee teamed up with the Human Relations Committee to present a reenactment of the story of Our Lady of Guadeloupe.
Parents are always welcome at these events! Keep checking the website for details on future "enrichments".
