Joe Volf Grace and Peace Being a Catholic school, reli- gion set Assumption apart from all others. Religious life was apparent everywhere and was shown in many different ways. The opening school Mass brought us all together to start the new year. Students and faculty could attend daily Mass, either before school at 7:45 or during mod 9 at 1 f :50. All school Masses were cele- brated throughout the year on holy days as well as on other special oc- casions such as homecoming and Christmas. Special penance ser- vices were held during both Ad- vent and Lent. Priests from all the city parishes participated in these events. Charity work was evident throughout the year, shown in the massive food and clothing drive at Christmas and in donations of cans of food at some of the dances. Religious life grew and flourished with some changes and additions being made. The retreat was moved from a school day to a Sun- day. Freshmen and sophomores met on February 16, while juniors and seniors gathered on the 23rd. Retreat master for both weekends was Fr. Richard Luberti. Catholic Schools Week was celebrated with a special Mass on February 4. Dur- ing Lent stations of the cross were held on every Wednesday. James Livermore, Tom Martin. Sophia Thomas and Nikki Robertson take port in one of the daily masses. 20 reipous Me
