Letter from the Headmaster
Admiring God’s Creative Artistry in our School Community
In this issue, I am reminded of the wonderful creativity and artistry God imparts as gifts for us all. Our feature article highlights the unique persons and personalities that have characterized Cistercian’s 53rd graduating class as they employed a healthy dose of creative humor and gratitude to successfully navigate their studies during the pandemic. We could not be more proud of their many accomplishments and the rich brotherhood they take with them. They will be missed!
Then, in our second feature, we honor BraveArt’s 25th year along with all those who have so generously shared their artistic passion and skills to excite and inspire the creative energies of our students. I particularly appreciate the tribute to our beloved veteran teachers Dr. Pruit and Mr. Munguia whose gift it was to inaugurate such an amazing tradition.
It is always great fun to enjoy the creative and homespun wit and wisdom of Smokey Briggs ’84 as he reflects back on the fruits of having chosen “the path less taken.” And as only he can do, Fr. Roch challengingly explains that peace and joy for the saints can spring from such tragedies as the current war in Ukraine.
Finally, be sure to check out Class Notes, where God’s ongoing creativity and artistry is always on display in the colorful and multifaceted mosaic of the many activities and milestones of our alumni and their families.
Fr. Paul
