This blog is intended to serve our relationship with our Academy of Our Lady of Mercy, Lauralton Hall families. May these shared reflections lead you further into the rhythm of contemplation and action as members of this community.
At Lauralton Hall we started the month of November in Mass as we celebrated the Feast of All Saints. Our celebrant, Father Guy Dormevil P’12 and member of our Board of Trustees, offered many words of wisdom to our community in his homily. One that I still carry with me, weeks later, was the reminder that happiness comes from within.
I am filled with gratitude to our students and faculty for a positive and productive start to the 23-24 school year. I know by this time in September summer seems like it was months, not weeks ago. The heat wave that started our school year sure did remind us that summer was still with us, but the chill in the air these mornings make me excited for fall!
I have always loved the fresh start feeling that we get this time of year. We look ahead with anticipation to all that this year holds for our students and our school community.
