MAY CROWNING: Monday, May 13, is our annu-al May Crowning, following the 8:30 AM Mass. Stu-dents should bring flowers to Mass that day to pre-sent to the Blessed Mother. Students should arrive at school by 8:20 and line up outside the church for the procession into Mass. It is important for stu-dents to be on time, because we don’t want to delay the beginning of Mass, and we want all students to participate in the procession. After Mass and Nove-

na, students assemble in the courtyard around the Blessed Mother statue. The May court processes to the statue. Our Lady is crowned, and then we all say the Rosary. After the Rosary we re-turn to school and pick up the schedule at that time, usually end of first period. Everyone is invited to the ceremony.

PILGRIMAGE TO MOTHER SETON’S SHRINE: Many thanks to all those who participated in this event. It was a beautiful day spiritually. Thanks to Father Isenberg for arranging our use of the seminary dining room, so that we didn’t suffer from the rain and chilly weather.

PROM: Thanks to the Senior Class Council, Mrs. Prevoznik and Mrs. Smith for arranging a wonderful Prom. Thanks to Mrs. Pogue, Miss Wil-son, and Mrs. Pennefather for approving the dresses. Our young ladies couldn’t have looked lovelier.

PROM ALTERNATIVE: Thank you, Mrs. Duran, for arranging a great Prom Alternative activity for the sophomores and upper-classmen who did not attend the Prom.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION: The Beginning of the End of Abortion by Shawn Carney, published by Cappella Books. The book recounts inspiring stories of success-es by Forty Days for Life in shutting down abortion facilities and spreading the culture of life. You might want to start with “Music through the Wall,” p. 221. Mike in the story is Seton dad Mike Baldwin. Ken in the story is former Seton dad Ken Groves. Over the years that the Forty Days for Life Campaign prayed

that facility out of existence, Seton students and parents were there each October and March, adding to the prayers that led to victory.

THE POPE CAN’T TEACH HERESY: Some of my students have asked about an item on the Internet about a group of Catholics accusing Pope Francis of heresy. I tell the students that a Pope can never teach heresy. Jesus promised that the Gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church in the specific context of appointing Peter as head of the Church. Jesus said to Peter, “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven.” At the end of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus says, “Behold I am with you all days, even to the end of the world.” To say that a Pope could teach heresy is to make Jesus a liar, which is an absolute impossibility. Popes can sin, Popes can be imprudent, Popes can make serious mistakes, but a Pope can never teach heresy. Never. Two thousand years of Church history provide historical confirmation of this doc-trinal truth. For a longer discussion of this issue, I recommend the following article by Dr. Jeffrey Mirus on catholiccul-ture.org: www.catholicculture.org/commentary/articles.cfm?id=729
