“I liked how people could get involved and express our opinions freely without hassles of troubles.” Thankful for All God’s Gifts We all share experiences, both good and bad, with our friends. Whether it be going to a game, talking on the phone, or going out on a Saturday night, all of these events take a special place in our life. Thanksgiving, we take the time to reflect on the past events and those closest to us. During school we do this in a very special way ... celebrating mass. The Bishop Noll community gath¬ ered in the fieldhouse for the tradi¬ tional Thanksgiving mass on Tues¬ day, November 25. Instead of having a homily, Bishop Gaughn gave the stu¬ dents the opportunity to talk. “People say your generation is un¬ grateful, said Bishop Gaughn. He con¬ tinued to ask the faculty if they agreed or disagreed with this.” Mr. Chris Bobos said, “I don’t think these kids are ungrateful. These kids are a bunch of great people.” When Bishop Gaughn turned to the students for their thoughts, everyone was hesitant to answer. Michael Man¬ tle was first to come forward. “I am grateful for you coming here,” said Michael, “Did I say it like you asked me to?” As dicussion continued, students expressed their gratefulness for priests, communion, confession, and the sacrament of confirmation. Stu¬ dents expressed their ungreatfullness for long homiles and masses. “Speak¬ ing of length, I’ve been to a Baptist Church and compared to that and hour and fifteen minutes ain’t nothin’!” said Freshman Talicia Raggs. “Mr. Jones went to Church, he went on every Sunday. Mr. Jones went to hell for what he did on every Mon¬ day,” said Bishop Gaughn. Ungreat- fulness was also expressed for Chris¬ tians who live like Mr. Jones. Most students enjoyed the Thanks¬ giving mass and got something out of it. “I liked it because the mass was made especially for us and it made me feel special as a student of BNI,” said Sophomore Mark Halimorse. The bishop helped many students to grow by relating to them in the homily. “I liked how people could get involved and express our opinions freely without hassles or troubles.” said Sophomore John Lukowski. “I liked the way everyone had the chance to say what they wanted,” said Senior James Reed. The mass gives the students of NOLL the chance to become closer as a community. “The mass is a wonder¬ ful tradition. It lets the Bishop know what Catholic teens think about their faith,” said Junior, Peggy Ryan “Listen!” ... says Mr. Bobos telling about how great the NOLL students are. Looking at all their faces—they were pleased. Thanksgiving 21
