This morning began with a little bit of media coverage by CBS2/KCAL 9 and Channel 22 (Espanol). Students began arriving around 6:50 AM and, all but one, had their luggage in the school vans and ready in the gym for our comissioning prayer service. The prayer service went very well and concluded with Br. John, our principal, saying a few words of farewell and reading the comissioning words. As part of the ritual, students gave their parents a rosary asking them to pray for them and the parents gave their sons a St. Christopher medal (provided by Blake Martin '13) wishing them a safe and blessed trip. This is where the tears started!
