This Friday, Everest students will celebrate the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter. This feast refers to the “Chair” of St Peter because in ancient times teachers sat down while teaching. The chair refers to St. Peter’s authority to teach and govern the Church in the name of Christ. This God-given authority has been passed down through the centuries all the way from St. Peter to Pope Leo XIV. All classes are encouraged to pray for the Pope and his intentions.
Earlier in February, our second-grade students participate in a mock conclave to elect a pope for the day. The students prayed together and then voted for male students who demonstrate virtue in the classroom. This year’s “pope” and his “Swiss guards” will visit classrooms.
