Students Making a Difference
Seniors have been feeding the homeless this year every Monday at the Mother Theresa Shelter. Sophia Yzaguirre, Senior wrote: “Volunteering at the Mother Teresa Shelter gave me a sense of thankfulness. I had asked one of the homeless ladies during breakfast how she was doing today. In response, she said, “I feel blessed.” This was something that struck me during my whole experience of volunteering at the shelter. If someone who has so little, can still feel blessed by God, then we should feel blessed as well. We all have our struggles, and some have more than others, but we should not let that stand in the way of our faith. We must remain thankful for everything God has given us, especially having the ability to help in our community. I am very thankful for my education at St. John Paul II and to have teachers like Mr. Nye who pushes us to be the best versions of ourselves daily.”
Below are a few pictures of this loving work of mercy.

Article from the South Texas Catholic
Students at St. JPIIHS participate in 7 last words of Christ reflection on Holy Thursday.

Hannah Reynolds, a senior at St. John Paul II, said, “Thursday’s reflections were a really nice opportunity to reflect on Jesus’ last words themselves and the events that took place that day. It allowed me to better enter the Easter Triduum celebration and prepare my heart for the upcoming Masses and services that I would attend.”
