Our Theme
Late have I loved You, Beauty so ancient and so new
You are invited to celebrate these words from St. Augustine’s famous autobiography, The Confessions, for our gala Saturday, November 9 at 6 PM. Join us for a very special evening devoted to our school's book study of this masterpiece about the journey of a restless heart.
Come and enter the golden era of the Doctors of the Church and the drama of this seeker in the late fourth century who finally found the desire of his heart by embracing eternal love and truth Himself, Jesus Christ.
Delicious food, student recitations and theatrical fencing promise to make this an unforgettable night for every restless heart!
You have made us for Yourself Oh Lord and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee
