St. Ambrose Academy juniors and seniors attend march in Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Forty years ago, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., St. John Paul II affirmed the validity of absolute moral norms including prohibitions against sins such as perjury, adultery, and in this case, abortion.
Only six years after the intrinsically unjust Roe v. Wade decision was handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court, St. John Paul addressed not only the decriminalizing of abortion but implicitly warned against the cascading moral relativism it helps to engender.
He stated: “If a person’s right to life is violated at the moment in which he is first conceived in his mother’s womb, an indirect blow is struck also at the whole of the moral order, which serves to ensure the inviolable goods of man.
Eyes opened to human struggles on mission trip
MADISON — The mission trip is a long-standing tradition, made available only to juniors at Edgewood High School. It is a service immersion experience.
Immersion experience
Part of the time students are involved in direct service. Part of the time students are learning about social justice issues such as poverty, homelessness, hunger, incarceration, racism, and immigration.
Part of the time students pray and reflect on their experiences. But, all of the time students are immersed in environments that open their eyes to the realities faced by so many marginalized people in our country.
St. Ambrose Academy students put faith into action during fall Service Day
MADISON — St. Ambrose Academy students are developing love for Jesus both in the classroom and the chapel throughout the school year.
But, in order to embody the school motto “Christ is Everything for Us,” that love must also spill over into acts of charity toward others, bringing the love that God has for us into our regular habits and actions.
On Friday, Oct. 19, the entire student body put that principle into practice at 15 sites throughout the Diocese of Madison — from Camp Gray in Reedsburg to The Beacon in downtown Madison and Second Harvest on the east side — during the fall semester Service Day.Our Lady Queen of Peace School hosts inaugural Game Day planned by Spirit Club
