THE 8TH GRADE BISHOP'S AWARD RECIPIENTS
In his homily for the 8th grade Bishop's Awards, Bishop Cahill mentioned one of Pope Francis' letters that challenges us to live the gospel. He told the congregation and the students receiving the awards, "Dare to be different. Testify everyday to the beautiful in your life. You have hopefully come to realize that under everything God has created, is beauty. The people in your life are the most beautiful."
He also comended the students for their hard work and dedication, to learning more about their faith and reminded them to be grateful for their parents, teachers, and all who have been a part of "planting faith" in them.
