The Global Encounters Program’s Service Mission Trip to Colorado is underway! Despite a delayed departure, the students and chaperones from St. Francis High School arrived safely in Denver, Colorado, to begin their weeklong immersive service mission trip. A meaningful highlight of their first day was visiting the Capuchin Friars at Annunciation Church in Denver. There, the group learned about the rich history of the parish, joined in prayer, and received a special blessing with a relic of St. Francis. Please keep this team in your prayers as they journey through this transformational adventure. (fb)

Final exams are here, Golden Knights — but you've got this! 💪📚 To help you finish strong, here are 5 Quick Tips to crush your finals: Create a Game Plan – Map out your study schedule so you’re not cramming the night before. Time management = stress management. Study in Sprints – Use the 25/5 rule (25 minutes focused, 5-minute break). It keeps your brain fresh and focused. Teach It to Learn It – Explaining concepts out loud (to a friend or your dog—both count) helps lock in knowledge. Fuel Up & Sleep Up – Energy drinks won’t replace good sleep and healthy snacks. Treat your brain like a Golden Knight: hydrated and ready for battle. Keep It in Perspective – Finals are important, but they don’t define you. Do your best, breathe deep, and trust your preparation. ✨ Good luck, Golden Knights! Your hard work all year has led to this. Finish strong, and stay golden! 🤎💛 #FinalsWeek #GoldenKnights #StudyTips #StayGolden #FaithFamilyFuture (fb)
