The following reflection by Principal Hehs traces the progression from Advent to Christmas, then to the Epiphany and Baptism of Jesus, marking the conclusion of the Christmas Season.

The Feast of St. Nicholas

The Feast of St. Nicholas, or Mikulás, holds a special place in my heart as it brings cherished family traditions. Originating from central European customs, my siblings and I celebrated by placing polished shoes outside our doors, hoping for a visit from St. Nicholas. Accompanied by the unique tradition of Krampusz and virgács, the feast allows us to refocus on Jesus and find a balance between the commercialization of Christmas and the spiritual preparations of Advent. St. Nicholas, a tender-hearted bishop, inspires us to follow his example of giving to others, prompting reflection on what gifts we can share for the betterment of others during this Advent season.

Patriot Day, September 11, 2023

Out of this day twenty-two years ago came a reminder that we are a people of faith not fear. There are 31 Bible verses about “fear”, and through them, we are promised that God walks with the faithful at all times. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord, your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

“Work is the vocation of man.”

As we prepare for the traditional BBQ and day of rest that Labor Day provides, it is noteworthy for us to reflect on work done in the SCA during these first four weeks of the 2023-2024 school year. The Administrative Team committed themselves to the school year long before the first teacher or student walked back into the building. On Monday, August 7, the faculty was welcomed back to school to begin the great work of educating young women to fulfill their feminine genius – their unique dignity, identity, and gifts as women created in the image of God.

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The glory of the Mother is a cause of immense joy to all her children, a joy that knows the far-reaching resonance of the sentiment that is typical of popular piety, even though it cannot be reduced to it. It is, so to speak, a theological joy, firmly rooted in the paschal mystery. In this sense, the Virgin is “causa nostrae laetitiae — the cause of our joy”. - Pope St. John Paul II (taken from the Homily of His Holiness John Paul II, Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Sunday, 15 August 1999)
