Holy Hike
Students woke up refreshed and refreshed this morning after last night’s fun, ready for their first Saturday on campus. Following a quick breakfast, a large group gathered at the flagpole outside St. Joseph Commons for a hike. The weather couldn’t have been better, and the students enjoyed a cool breeze and sunny skies as they trekked about a mile away to take in a bird’s eye view of campus as well as stunning vistas of the Santa Clara Valley.
At the top of the peak was a makeshift altar, and program chaplain Rev. Sebastian Walshe, O.Praem, (’94), offered Holy Mass. Father spoke movingly in his homily about the Israelites wandering in the Egyptian wilderness, as well as the importance of placing one’s trust in God in the midst of persecution and exile.
The return trip took about half an hour, and everyone was soon devouring a delicious lunch of ham sandwiches and potato chips. At this moment, there is a fierce volleyball tournament under way, with prefects leading several teams of students. Check back tomorrow for photos, results, and much more!
