2014 Mom's Choice Award

(by Lowcountry Parent Magazine)

GO BISHOPS!

The Month Of April Is Dedicated To The Blessed Sacrament!

The month of April is dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament. Frequent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, reserved in the tabernacle, is one path to spiritual growth. Lent is the perfect time to begin the journey of deepening our relationship with God. May this Lent be one of growth as we await the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ on Easter.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me

Body of Christ, save me

Blood of Christ, inebriate me

Water from Christ's side, wash me

Passion of Christ, strengthen me

Oh good Jesus, hear me

Within thy wounds, hide me

Suffer me not to be separated from thee

From the malicious enemy, defend me

In the hour of my death, call me

And bid me come unto thee

That I may praise thee with thy saints

And with thy angels, forever and ever.

Amen.

Michelle McGinley

Director of Campus Ministry

Student Columnist

A Senior reflects on what it means to be part of a team..

Two weeks ago I had laced up my skates and put on my BE/PG jersey for the last time. It was the state championship game and my last time representing BE/PG Hockey. This was the second time in three years that we had made it to state, and as a senior, I felt that it was an all or nothing game. After a grueling forty-five minutes, the final buzzer went off, and we had come up one goal short. Everybody was heartbroken, especially us seniors. Before the game, our coach had told us "No regrets" and "Leave it all on the ice," and that's exactly what I did. A few minutes after the game, it was hard to believe that my four years of high school hockey were over, but looking back, I would not have had it any other way. Some people think that championships are measured by trophies, but when you play for a while, that's when you recognize that championships are measured by all the bonds and good times you made with your team. Although we did not win state, our team had accomplished so much. Before freshman year, the coaches would stress about even having enough kids show up who were able to play, let alone win a game. This year's senior class came in our freshman year and helped transform a team from one that was expected to lose every game to a powerhouse that would medal three years in a row. Hockey never goes on vacation; Hockey never gets divorced; Hockey never dies. Hockey has given me so much and has been such a huge part of who I am. I only wish that I could give back as much as I have received. My journey may be over, but I could not be any more thankful for what hockey has given me.
