We remember, and never forget, the events that occurred on 9/11/01 and the innocent lives lost. Here at Saint Joe’s we commemorated the 25th anniversary of that day with a prayer service held in our Memorial Courtyard. Students whose parents are a part of law enforcement including the Port Authority as well as several Partners in Mission placed flowers before the cross created from a WTC steel beam. We are also thankful to John Gilburn ‘73 who was instrumental in obtaining that cross. We especially remember the Falcon brothers we lost that day: William Fallon ‘66, Officer James Lynch ‘72 and Robert Andrew Spencer ‘84. Pictures from the 9/11 Memorial are from our summer mission trip where 67 students from all 11 BOSH schools placed flags in the name of each and every victim. May they rest in peace in the loving arms of Jesus.

So excited to have students back on campus! There was definitely a “joyful noise” in Campus Ministry as the boys gathered for lunch. There was not an empty seat (or couch) in the house!

It’s hard to believe our week of service has come to a close. We spent a very hot Wednesday in NYC starting with a ferry ride before heading to the site of the 9/11 Memorial. After a brief prayer service the students placed flags in the name of each person who lost their life that morning, including 3 SJHS alumni. For lunch we ventured to Little Italy and then on to St Patrick’s. We tried to support our British brothers by catching the FIFA watch party in Rockefeller Center but didn’t have much luck. The night ended with a prayer service focused on the Open Heart charism of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart followed by some karaoke fun. It was a fantastic week filled with service, prayer and fellowship.

Days 2 & 3 of our BOSH Mission trip had us making brunch and sweet treats at Ronald McDonald house, helping to clean classrooms at the church and school of St Joan of Arc and painting shared library boxes . .Nighttime activities included BBQ dinner with the McClancy Brothers and a presentation by NYPD band and K-9 unit. Then we topped off the night celebrating Br Nelson’s 80th birthday.

Heavenly Father, Lord of all nations,

On this 250th birthday of the United States, we lift our hearts in gratitude for the blessings You have poured upon our land.

Look with mercy upon our people: strengthen what is good, heal what is wounded, and restore what has grown weary.

Through the intercession of Mary, Immaculate Patroness of our country, guard our families, guide our leaders, and keep us faithful to the dignity of every human life.

Kindle in us a renewed love for truth, a courageous desire for justice, and a generous heart for our neighbor.

May the Holy Spirit make us a nation that seeks Your will, walks in Your peace, and reflects the light of Christ to all the world.

God bless the United
States of America-today and always. Amen
