Stories of Our 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.

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.
