Opening Liturgy 2025-26
We kicked off the 2025-2026 school year with our Opening Liturgy at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, uniting as one Padua community in prayer and reflection. The church was filled with the sounds of our music ministry leading us in favorites like “Oceans” and “We Are One Body.”
In his homily, Father highlighted this year’s diocesan theme by referencing the verse in Isaiah 43:1 “I have called you by name, you are mine.” Vesna Vuckovic ’26 shared a Salesian Reflection, encouraging us to begin each day with the Direction of Intention so that together we may grow in sisterhood and faith. Before we left mass, we sang as one community our Alma Mater.
