On the second week of Lent, the faculty and principal spent a beautiful morning at St. Alfonso Retreat House in Long Branch. The teachers enjoyed two spiritually uplifting talks by Deacon Paul Makar of Assumption parish. Teaching is one of the most rewarding professions, but it can also be one of the most stressful. The hope of the retreat was to give this amazing group of teachers the opportunity to be with the Lord and rest awhile.
