This Friday, we kicked off the celebration of Catholic Schools Week by holding an all-school mass, with a guest speaker, Corey Hahn, Class of 2010. He spoke about his struggle with adjusting his life to accommodate his injury.

“My injury was not life ending, but life changing,” Hahn said.

Diana Neudstadt, the Director of Student Activities, also said to thank the maintenance staff, Sodexo staff, along with the teachers and staff every chance you get. This week brightens the mood of Mater Dei and is a great opportunity to show kindness and appreciation to others.⠀

“Students should get involved to celebrate who we are and to make Mater Dei the best place possible,” said Neustadt.
