Retreat on the Rock
Tonight:
Winter Service Immersion Trip Blessing
During the 6pm Mass on Sunday, December 9th, the students, faculty and staff participating in service immersion trips to New Orleans and Nicaragua will be blessed.
Stick with it!! 

YOU GOT IT HAWKS!  Only a little longer until break! Remember this when you feel like you are at your breaking point.  Too blessed to be stressed! Pray with gratitude for your opportunity to receive a college education and live in the 1% of people who have that blessing.

None! Happy Christmas Break!  
 
Send your answer to Cindy Schmersal by 9:00am on Wednesday.  Of those students who respond, one will be chosen at random to receive a free (and delicious!) twister from the Pub.  The winner will be announced in the following week's bulletin.

A Prayer 
Mary, Mother of fair love, of fear, of knowledge, 
and of holy hope, 
by whose loving care and intercession many, 
otherwise poor in intellect, 
have wonderfully advanced in knowledge and in holiness, thee do I choose as the guide and patroness of my studies; and I humbly implore,
through the deep tenderness of thy maternal love, 
and especially through that eternal Wisdom
who deigned to take from thee our flesh
and who gifted thee beyond all the saints with heavenly light, that thou wouldst obtain for me 
by thy intercession the grace of the Holy Spirit that I may be able to grasp with strong intellect, 
retain in memory, proclaim by word and deed, 
and teach others all things which bring honor to thee and to thy Son, and which for me and for others are salutary for eternal life. Amen.
