There is so much that has happened in these past few months. We hosted our first off-campus retreat. We celebrated Lent, the Paschal Triduum and the beginning of Easter. We fully initiated 2 members of our Pitt-Johnstown community into the Catholic Church. We celebrated commencement on campus and sent the Class of 2011 on their way. We welcomed our new bishop to this diocese. So many wonderful, memorable events took place for our Catholic and University community in these past few weeks. There is much to be grateful for... something that a lot of people aren't feeling these days. It is important that we pray in thanksgiving for these gifts, but also for those people who are struggling on a daily basis to understand how God is working in their lives. Amen?
Not only have these past few months been eventful, but this entire academic year has been one of great memories and wonderful progress. I am confident that the relationships we are building, not only on campus, but with God, will continue to bear much fruit in the coming days, weeks and years ahead. Matthew's Gospel reminds us that the house set solidly on rock will be able to buffet the winds, storms and rains. After this first year, I truly believe that we are building our programs and relationships on solid rock: Jesus Christ.
My hope is, that as we progress through the summer, I will be able to more regularly update this blog for those of you who continue to read it. Until my next post, I leave you with the video that was made for our New Catholic Student Orientation Day and Family Day this past semester. It was well attended by our student leader's families and there was a sprinkling of incoming freshmen... so much to be thankful for!
Promised prayers as we continue this wonderful season of Easter!
