COR Expedition

Our high school students embarked on an unforgettable week-long backcountry backpacking adventure through the rugged beauty of Wyoming with COR Expeditions.

Guided by experienced leaders, students hiked through breathtaking landscapes, learned practical wilderness skills, and deepened their faith through daily prayer, reflection, and community living.

Away from the noise of everyday life, they encountered both the majesty of God’s creation and the strength of their own character. The trip was a powerful blend of challenge, growth, and grace, an experience that will continue to shape their hearts and minds long after returning home.

The presence and guidance of these wonderful sisters left a lasting impact on everyone involved, enriching both hearts and minds.

We are deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience!

The Joy and Wonder of Catholic Education: Developing Authentically Catholic Schools

In his recent pastoral letter, Bishop James Conley of the Diocese of Lincoln Nebraska describes the value of Catholic education. He states: "Catholic schools are not merely information delivery systems focused on secular success, but rather are about transformation in Christ. Our educational mission goes far beyond conveying factual knowledge of history, science, literature, or even faith; it begins and ends with students' potential for holiness.

"Every student is made for holiness, made to become a saint."
