From Mrs. Goshe's Desk
Congratulations to all of our seniors! On Monday, we celebrated a beautiful Baccalaureate Mass in gratitude for our seniors making it to this milestone. It was a beautiful Mass. I hope we can remember what our celebrant, Fr. Damian Ference, shared: everything is about love and that we must go out into the world and desire and work toward the good of the other.
I have kept the list of links of places around the Akron area to complete service in the summer. Campus Ministry hopes to host some service days at different places throughout the summer, a Kairos Reunion, and some times of prayer. Please be sure to check out this section of the Irish Weekly for the latest happenings in Campus Ministry.
Please pray for all of our students, staff and families to have a safe and fun summer! Let us ask our Blessed Mother to wrap her mantle of care and protection around our STVM family. Please know of my unceasing prayers for each of you. If you need anything over the summer, please don't hesitate to reach out at 330-253-9113 ext. 118 or jgoshe@stvm.com
With gratitude for a beautiful 24-25 school year,
Mrs. Goshe

MARIANIST MOMENT
Marianists believe that Mary is the perfect model of discipleship. She shows us how to love, trust, and follow Jesus better than any other human being. She also encourages us to "Do whatever He tells you." John 2:5
May is celebrated as the Month of Mary in the Catholic Church. Here are some resources about Mary.
It is important to understand why we, as Catholics, hold Mary in high esteem, call her our Mother, and ask for her intercession. This short video with Fr. Mike Schmitz gives a good introduction and explanation to help us to understand our relationship with Mary.
Here is a link to other resources about Mary, how to pray with Mary, Marian Feast days, and activities to celebrate Mary.
We invite and encourage you to download the Marianist App for lots of great resources and information.
This article will also help you get to know Blessed William Joseph Chaminade better.

Campus Ministry Theme, Mission and Vision
Campus Ministry Theme, Mission and Vision
THEME - NEW FOR 2024-25 - H.O.P.E. - which is an acronym for: Helping Others Pursue Eternity. This year, Campus Ministry is hoping to help our students not only pursue their own eternity, but also continue to learn how to share their faith to help others pursue eternity too. St. Padre Pio and his saying, "Pray, hope, and don't worry," will be used as we journey in faith through the year. The Jubilee Year of Hope begins with the Year of Prayer, and so, we will help others prepare for eternity as we learn and share how to grow in relationship with God through prayer. Here is a special Litany Prayer to pray each Monday for all our students.
MISSION - Teach, share, support, and live the Mission of St. Vincent- St. Mary and the Marianist Characteristics of Education with an emphasis on invitation and hospitality.
VISION - Every day, every person, every interaction, an encounter with Christ.
