A long overdue update!

Events are definitely in full swing at Catholic Central!  Between Sunday Masses for various events, football games, retreats, and everything else associated with High School life, it feels like I am constantly running around , and hardly have any time to rest... much less blog!  But a lot of things have been happening, so it's been fun.

CC's football team is currently 8-1 on the season, with the Catholic League championship trophy now safely in our hands.  the championship game was held at Ford Field, so it was neat to be inside an NFL stadium for the first time.  I can only imagine what that place must be like on a Lions game day! Hopefully I'll get a chance to experience that at some point.  We start State Playoffs this week, and we're looking like we should have a good run (especially if the team keeps playing like they did in the Catholic League championship game!)

Another first is that I attended my first NHL game.  One of the Basilians had tickets to see the Red Wings play the Ottawa Senators, and that was an incredible experience!  It's such a fast-paced game, and because are seats were so close to the ice, you definitely felt like you were a part of the action, especially when one of the defensemen shot a beautiful goal from right in front of where we were sitting!

I haven't done much traveling recently, but I did get the chance to go over to Windsor last night, and visit with a couple of the Basilians who are there, as well as get to meet some of the students involved with University of Windsor Campus Ministry.   Even though the program is only in its second year, it seems to be thriving quite nicely. Kudos to Fr. Chris Valka for all the time and effort he's put into starting the Campus Ministry program there!

That's about it for now.  I'm headed back to NM in less than 2 weeks for a friend's wedding.  Looking forward to seeing a bunch of my friends, and to getting some good green chile!
