The Catholic Church can’t manage to stay out of the news. A recent wave of sexual abuse accusations against priests has Catholics and non-Catholics alike criticizing the Church’s handling of these widespread problems. These things were at the forefront of my mind as I traveled with 33 other Saint Mary’s students and several professors to

Everybody has a story when it comes to 9/11. For me, I was a high school student at Chaminade High School, approximately 20 miles from downtown Manhattan. The news was devastating as many of my high school classmates lost immediate family: fathers, mothers, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. The next couple of days were excruciating
