It was a day of joining together in worship, service and in fellowship.

The day began with prayer as almost 1,000 people, including 730 students in K3 through 12th grade, 100 faculty and staff, and 100 volunteers came together for Mass. Following Mass, middle and high school students participated in their annual Works of Mercy Day. High School students volunteer at multiple ser- vice locations, and middle school students spent their morning performing acts of service around the school campus. Elementary students from both St. Bede Campus and Holy Spirit Campus enjoyed their third annual joint field day on the Middle and High School Campus.
