This week’s blog was very intersting. I enjoyed reading about the Catholic Youth Rally at Xaverian. My brother attends Xaverian and was there. He said he had a great time!! I think the concept of it is great too. I can’t wait until next week!!

As a part-time member of the permenant community of the Newman Center at Umass Amherst and a member of Corpus Christi Parish here in Sandwich, I want to thank you so much for your visit to Newman. My wife Nancy and I, along with our son Stephen and his girlfriend Karen attended. Stephen and Karen are students at Umass. Nancy and I met at Umass back in the 70′s. The University and the Newman Center are important parts in our lives. Fr. Doug works tirelessly at Newman. He is a great role model, and as you probably know, a vocation advocate. Just look at the Seminarians at St. John’s (with I also attended for a year after Umass). Again, Thanks and don’t be a stranger. As you yourself mentioned, half the students are from the Archdiocese.

FOCA had me kinda scared at one point but I’ve been extremely heartened to see so many of our bishops take a strong stance and a very vocal, public one on this issue. God bless you!

When I read about Tony Melendez, I was very inspired when I found out how he could be a musician while playing the guitar with his feet.

I was glad to read that you met with survivors of the Holocaust after what Lefebvrite Bishop Williamson said about it. It is important to acknowledge what had happened so we can learn from it.

Sincerely,
Celene, a Seventh Grade Student attending St. Paul School

You certinaly go many places in one week! You are very lucky that way. Our 7th and 8th grade classes went to Washington D.C on the 24th-26th! I had so much fun! It went by so quickly that I don’t think I realized that it actually happpened until I was on the plane going home! Our principal gets lots of credit also for preparing the trip and making it so much fun!

I think that the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception was one of the most amazing places! I don’t know if you have been there, but there is this one chappel inside that looks as if it was made of gold! It was really only gold colored mosaic but it was still breathtaking! I also like the huge mosaic of Christ behing the alter! It made the most lasting impression on me. The National Shrine is something that I will always remember.

We also visited the Holocaust museum. It was a very striking place. When you first walk in they give you a ID card. Inside the card is a picture of a Holocaust survivor. I was amazed to see how many cards their were. I saw how many people survived, compaired to how many didn’t. The Holocaust was a very moving part of D.C for me.

All and all Washington was a very exciting place and I am so happy that I went! I also enjoy reading your bolg every week. I hope that you will stop by our school and see all the pictures!

Sincerly,
Lindsey, 7th Grade

I liked reading this weeks blog. Last week I went to the National Shrine. It was so beautiful! I was happy to find out that some of the people there know about our school, St. Paul’s, and how we comment on your blog. I can’t wait until your next entry!

This Past week, my school took a trip down to Washington D.C. We gad a great time and learned a lot too. One of the many sites we went to see was the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. It was a gorgeous cathedral! The mosaics on the ceilings were so delicately done, the sculptures were so multicultural, and the history of the shrine was amazing.

Last week, the seventh and eighth grade students at St. Paul School visited Washington D.C. I think that everyone had a great time and learned a lot; I know I did. We saw many of the monuments including the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. The mosaics on the ceilings were breathtaking, the sculptures were so multicultural, and the history of the Shrine was just as amazing. We met a nun who knew who we were through reading our comments on your blog! It is a very small world!

My 7th grade class, as well as the 8th grade class, visited Washington, D.C. this past week. It was an exciting and amazing experience.

At the National Shrine (it was truly beautiful), we met one of the people who works on your website. She said that she has seen our comments to you! It’s a small world we live in, huh?

I read that you met with Holocaust survivors, too – we visited the Holocaust Museum. The Holocaust was such a tragic time in our world’s history, and we must prevent hatred and genocide.

I heard about the FOCA at Saturday Mass yesterday, and I think that the postcard campaign is a wonderful idea! I strongly oppose abortion myself. It is murder – nothing else. Anyone who denies that is mistaken…

I found it amazing to see the picture of the musician with no arms. He must be extremely talented! I’m so glad that he could overcome his impairments and be a musician! It’s very uplifting, and makes us feel like we can accomplish anything if we put our minds to it.

This week’s blog was very interesting. I can’t wait to read more!

I hope you come visit soon!

This past week the eight and seventh graders at St. Paul School went to Washington D.C. We went to the Holocaust Museum. The museum really helps people to understand what hard times the Jewish people went through. There were many pictures and films in the museum that showed the horrors of what happened during the Holocaust. At one point in the museum, there were names of people who died during the Holocaust. The whole museum gives you an idea of what happened during the Holocaust.

We also went and saw The National Shrine. All of the beautiful paintings and mosaics were really a pleasure to see! I loved all of the religious sculptures that were donated by different countries.

I hope you come and visit our school!

Sincerely,
Gabrielle

This past week the seventh and eight graders at St. Paul School went to Washington D.C. It was an amazing experience. We saw many monuments and had a great time. Even though we saw so many beautiful monuments and memorials in Washington, I think I speak for everyone when I say The National Shrine is what really took our breath away. Between the mosaics, the beautiful paintings, and the many different religious sculptures donated by different countries, it was an amazing place to see. We even met a nun from Massachusetts who reads our comments on your blog!

We also went to the Holocaust Museum while we were in D.C. I think going there helped every one really understand what the Jewish people went through and also what the people of Europe went through also. There were pictures and films along the walls of the museum depicting the horrors of the Holocaust.
