On this day, we celebrate the feast of St. Maximilian Kolbe! Kolbe means so much to the students of our school and is an incredible example of bravery, sacrificial love and devotion to Our Lady. Today, let us meditate on a question that Kolbe lived out so well: "What sacrifices am I willing to make for love?"
St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us!

Yesterday, our faculty and staff gathered for our Staff Retreat! We celebrated Mass and spent the afternoon at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art admiring Catholic artwork and contemplating how beauty can draw us closer to the Lord.
In order to inspire our students to bless the world, our educators must first take time to reflect and reconnect with our mission. We're grateful for this time together and are excited to begin the new school year!

In the Catholic Church, the month of July is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, a time to reflect more deeply on Christ's sacrifice for us on Calvary. Blood is essential to sustaining physical life. As Jesus poured out His Precious Blood on the cross, we gained something even greater: the gift of eternal life!
At every Mass, we are invited to remember this great sacrifice and receive Christ himself in the Eucharist. May this month draw us closer to His heart and deepen our gratitude for the precious gift of our salvation!

Today we celebrate the feast of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American to be canonized a saint. Every year, SMA students go on retreat at Prairie Star Ranch where they have the opportunity to pray in the beautiful chapel dedicated to St. Kateri. What a gift it is to encounter Christ in a place honoring such an inspiring saint!
Born into a Mohawk tribe in present-day New York , Kateri was orphaned at a young age. After learning about the faith from Jesuit missionaries, she converted to Catholicism at age 19. Despite facing persecution, Kateri remained steadfast and unwavering in her love for Christ. She is the patron saint of Indigenous peoples, the environment and ecology. St. Kateri, pray for us!
