What is more encouraging than witnessing the spiritual impact of an outdoor Eucharistic Holy Hour at the beginning of the academic year? It set the tone for students, inviting them into God's presence in the Eucharist, and mercy in the sacrament of Confession. The desired outcome is that more students, especially incoming Freshmen will encounter Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and in the sacrament of Confession in the first weekend before classes begin, transforming the trajectory of their school year.
