September 21, 2017On Wednesday, September 20th the 7th and 8th grade classes participated in their annual retreat. After the opening mass by Fr. Patrick, they traveled to the Ozark National Forest northeast of Hagarville. The group arrived mid-morning at Haw Creek Falls and spent time exploring the falls and surrounding area. Lunch was hot dogs cooked over an open fire. After the meal the group hiked to Pam's Grotto, a beautiful thirty-seven-foot seasonal waterfall surrounded by house sized boulders. The trail took them up a forested hillside and along a large sandstone bluff. While there, Fr. Patrick led the boys in a prayer service and period of reflection on the retreat theme of "Perseverance". It was a rewarding experience for both students and the participating adults.
