Monsignor Edward Pace High School
Celebrating Catholic Schools week was especially fun and engaging for our Spartans! This year’s CSW theme was “WELCOME HOME” and featured daily themes and opportunities for reflection on the many ways people can express ourselves despite our limitations and still promote the mission of Catholic Schools.
The week began with a Kick Off Mass and Breakfast with several activities including a “Where is Eddy?” week-long scavenger hunt to find Eddy the Spartan. Chef Creole provided a Solidarity Haitian Lunch featuring the popular rice and griot dish. On Wednesday, February 1st a group of Pace students attended the Archdiocese to celebrate a Catholic Schools Week Mass with Archbishop Wenski.
As this week coincided with Black History Month, theology classes celebrated a special CSW prayer service reflecting on the many contributions of amazing black voices including inspirational messages on freedom from Martin Luther King Jr., Maya Angelou, Rosa Parks and others. It was also an invitation to reflect on future Black Catholics who are in the process of becoming saints such as Father Augustus Tolton, Pierre Toussant, Thea Bowman and others.
As our biggest fundraiser for our sister schools in Haiti, students dressed down and purchased items at the Ti Mache Thrift Shop and “just.ice.coffee”. Together as a Pace family we enjoyed a week filled with love, fun and faith! From dress down themes, to lunch games, to daily prayer services, and reflection activities, we were blessed to celebrate CSW!
Now more than ever, we are proud to set the PACE in Catholic Education!
