' in M W? Religion Department: Ms. DeeDee Mendoza, Ms. Katherine Beard Ms. Shawna Uautsch, Ms. Anna Pritchard Ms. Margaret Averill and Mr. Steven Connolly. s. Mendoza and Ms. Simons take time to show their support for the Pope during his isit to Southern California in September. Pope John Paul Il's visit to Los Angeles on Septem- ber 15, 1987 reawakened people to the Catholic faith. lt was evident that the students of St. Joseph were ready for his visit. We saw our student body become enthralled by 'po- pemania' , recalled Ms. D. Mendoza, who showed her enthusiasm by distribut- ing the papal flags. The students saw him not so much as the head of our church, but as a 'grandpa' she continued. Ms. Beard, the department chair agreed, saying At the Youth Conference when he went to Tony Me- lendez, who was a gift of courage as he played a gui- tar with his toes, the Pope touched us all with his love and understanding. Even after the Pope had left, the Religion depart- ment kept his spirit alive. The Campus Ministry led us in helping the less for- tunate. They organized a money drive for the mis- sions and the Adopt-a- Family program. St. Jo- seph students adopted families and provided them with Thanksgiving dinners. The students were enthusiastic about the pro- ject which was evident in the number of families they were able to help. Another aspect of the Religion department this year was the Christian Ser- vice hours program. Stu- dents gave their time and energy to many worth- while causes such as the Red Cross the Special Olympics and helping in hospitals as Candy Strip- ers. This project encour- aged the girls to give of themselves in order to help the less fortunate.
