Jerry Kael from St. Boniface, they planned the All Saints Day liturgy for the school. q; Sophomore religion was divided into two single-semester courses. Fr.

On Fridays, Father Bach allowed his classes to discuss anything they wanted. They would decide on the topic early in the week, then write a paper on it.

Father Borawski taught the other sophomore religion class, Jesus and You . In this class, students talked about Christ ' s message to us in his teachings. Many of Fr. Borawski ' s students liked his class because he often told stories. For instance, one time when Father went to Poland, the customs officer inspected his luggage.
