Please understand that visible parental participation in school activities directly contributes to the success of our students. We en-courage you to get involved. Throughout the year, we need assistance with Lunch Duty and on the Hospitality Team to serve at school functions.

We ask God’s blessing on our students, families, faculty, alumni, and the entire Archbishop Rummel community. We pray in particular for our recent alumni who are contin-uing their educational journeys and for the class of 2016 who are continuing their formation as Christian gentlemen and leaders.

As we enter September our retreat program kicks off with our new 8th graders having their first retreat as Rummel Raiders on September 8th and with our Senior Leaders retreat on Sep-tember 10th and 11th. One of the most im-
portant things you can do for your sons is to pray for them, particu-larly for the 8th graders as they begin their high school careers with their first retreat as Raiders. Saint Thomas Aquinas, patron saint of students, offers the following prayer: Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom! Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissi-pate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance. Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion. This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man, living and reign-ing with You and the Father, forever and ever. Amen.
