FAITH

During Catholic Schools Week, a group of eight AHN high school students set off on the inaugural mission trip to San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala. Through serving in construction projects, visiting a Montessori school, and providing aid to families, they were inspired by the strength and faith of the local community.

In conjunction with their World Religions course, the junior class visited three worship sites in Tampa: the Wat Temple of Tampa, the Hindu Temple of Florida, and Congregation Schaarai Zedek. 

As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the importance of giving back to those in need. This November 6-15, we invite you to join us in a heartfelt Thanksgiving Food Drive, benefiting St. Vincent de Paul (SVP) and the Community Food Pantry.

Committed to the vision of the formation of women who are faith-filled, empathic, and just, our Mission & Ministry team has enhanced mission-centered opportunities for high school students with the implementation of mission days. Throughout the year, each grade level will participate in a rotation of service-learning experiences encompassing education, direct service, and faith-based formation and reflection. 

The 13 Academy members who traveled to Lisbon, Portugal, for World Youth Day are back – exhausted yet enriched by an unforgettable journey! They joined thousands at the Opening Mass and Welcome Ceremony with Pope Francis and experienced days filled with faith and unity, attending Mass and Holy Hours and engaging in enriching catechesis sessions.
