Feast Day 2008<br />
We express our unity in a very deep and loving way on our<br />
Feast Day, october 2nd. It is the Feast of the Guardian Angels,<br />
the day the Academy was founded in 1879. Remembering<br />
our 129 year tradition, on this day we pray for our Guardian<br />
Angels to guide and protect us. We also pay tribute to<br />
the vision and courage of our foundress, S. Mary Nonna<br />
Dunphy, SSND. Her legacy is reflected in the students who<br />
are honored with scholarships in her name and in the 20<br />
11<br />
seniors who were commissioned<br />
as Eucharistic Ministers. And as<br />
tradition has it, free ice cream<br />
is served to everyone during<br />
lunch. Msgr. Jack o’Keefe<br />
(pictured below) led the school<br />
in the Feast Day liturgy.<br />
Our School Theme – Claiming the Call to Solidarity<br />
In today’s world, we believe we<br />
are called not only to respond<br />
to the urgent needs of God’s<br />
people, but also to the urgent<br />
needs of our planet Earth.<br />
This belief is at the heart of the<br />
SSND Directional Statement,<br />
Call to Solidarity, that was an<br />
outgrowth of their recent<br />
General Chapter. As we<br />
celebrate the 175th anniversary<br />
of the School Sisters of Notre<br />
Dame, the Academy of the<br />
Holy Angels joins with them<br />
in claiming the Call to<br />
Solidarity with God’s earth<br />
and its people, as our theme<br />
for the year.
