Archangels Catholic High School

What a beautiful day at our All School Retreat! 🙏 Yesterday, our students and faculty spent time growing in faith through Mass, Adoration, Confession, and meaningful conversations centered on our theme, “Hearing the Extraordinary in the Ordinary.” From powerful talks to student-led small groups, it was inspiring to see our school community open their hearts to the Lord in the midst of our everyday spaces. We were also blessed to have students from LHF Lindsay Holy Family, Humphrey St. Francis School and St. John Neumann Catholic School join us. A special thank you to Fr. Taylor, Fr. Zach, and the priests who joined us to make the day so impactful. Please continue to keep our students and faculty in your prayers as we strive to listen more closely to God’s voice in our daily lives. #FaithInAction #CatholicEducation #AllSchoolRetreat #familyofgod
