#MarianPride Marian Catholic High School received a First Federal Charitable Foundation grant to be used to purchase a lighting system for its stage, which the ...school uses for theater productions, Mass and school assemblies. Marian Catholic announced its new Performing Arts Program this past summer under the direction of Carrie Fox, a current employee of the school. The school was given a gift from a benefactor to redo the stage floor. As school officials continued to assess the needs of the stage area, they concluded that new lighting would be also be a priority. In applying for the grant, the Rev. Allen Hoffa, Marian’s Head of School, said the Performing Arts Program would help students to foster a greater appreciation of art, music and literature while developing self-confidence, public speaking and presentation skills, and building skills that develop the whole person. Thank you to First Federal Charitable Foundation for making this possible! #MarianSpirit #MarianPerformingArts https://www.timesleader.com//first-federal-charitable-foun

Hail, Holy Queen! The Solemnity we celebrate today focuses on the privilege Mary had in sharing beforehand in the redemption of Christ. She was preserved from... the stain of Original Sin from the first moment of her conception in the womb. Today is the beginning of the great preparation for Christ coming into the world. For in time, God sent His only Son to save us. He took on our human nature in addition to His divine nature in order to redeem our human nature and to elevate it. This love story is personal, for each one of us. Because of this, He truly understands all the struggles and temptations of this live. He understands suffering, pain, all that draws us away from Him and His love. We have the great grace and privilege to always go to Christ with our struggles since He too lived those struggles, except sin. On Mary’s feast day, let us go to her with our needs so that she can bring them to her loving Son.
