School Saints

I went to St. Scholastica's today to attend the Parents' Recollection in preparation for MyGirl's First Communion.

The priest that gave the recollection and said the mass was from San Beda.

So there I was in the St. Scho chapel. I could not help notice the beautiful stained glass windows with the twin saints, St. Benedict and St. Scholastica. Quite appropriate to be in this place with a Benedictine priest.


Interestingly enough, it is the Feast Day of St. John Bosco. So during the mass, after the "St. Scholastica ... Pray for us" and the "St. Benedict ... Pray for us," the priest added, "St. John Bosco ... Pray for us" and "Mary Help of Christians ... Pray for us."


It made me think of the children and the patron saints of their schools watching over them.
