Surrounded by an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, the school chapel has been con- structed for the students' use The chapel is frequented daily by students arriving to and departing from classes. It is there that daily Mass is celebrated and the Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament is conducted each Friday. There students find peace of mind and they thank God for all the benefits He has bestowed upon them. Seasonal activities also highlight the school year. Among these is the adoption of the Advent Wreath custom. Each year during Advent the students con- struct wreaths in their homerooms and initiate a month of prayer in anticipation of the Redeerner's coming. To practice their religion is the aim of freshmen students who demonstrate the Advent Wreath tradition to their classmates. Participating in the act are: R. Korostynski, I. DeVincentis, B. Dworanczyk, F. Hodnicki, P. Corrado, S. Koruba, B. Frassetto, B. Konieczka, A. Gannon, M. Kawczynski, C. Kucinski, P. Glab, R. Buclniak, R. Bunkow- ski, S. Ianowski, I, Fatima, and L. Biel.
