Today, our school community gathered together for our first Mass of the school year!
In his homily, Chaplain Fr. Ben Daghir challenged us to view our mission — “Developing men and women of vision in spirit, mind, and body” — through the image of a three-legged stool. Just as a stool needs all three legs to remain strong, we are called to nourish our spirit, mind, and body.
Fr. Ben encouraged us to ask ourselves: “Which leg is weakest for me right now? And, more importantly, do we have the courage to strengthen it?” Through prayer, academics, athletics, service, activities, and the many opportunities Prep provides, we are called to grow into the people God is calling us to be.
Interim President Jason Ladouceur reminded us that “It takes courage to be different. It takes courage to BE PREP.” He challenged our community to have the courage to be excellent, live our faith, choose kindness, and stand up for what is right.
As we begin this new school year, may we have the courage to step outside our comfort zones, embrace every opportunity, support one another, and allow Christ to strengthen us spiritually, intellectually, and physically.
“Mary, Queen of Prep, Pray for us.” ✝️
