St. Leo the Great Catholic School, New Orleans

The St. Leo the Great Student Council had the honor of attending the Chrism Mass at St. Louis Cathedral, celebrated by Archbishop Checchio.

The Chrism Mass is a special liturgy where holy oils used throughout the year for sacraments like Baptism, Confirmation, and Anointing of the Sick are blessed, and priests renew their promises of service.

A beautiful and meaningful experience for our students! 🙏✨

They were able to walk through the research lab and see first hand students conducting research, and the highlight of the tour was chatting and experiencing the VR lab , they traveled to NASA and landed rockets and were able to see wind turbines, through the Occulus headsets!
