Faculty at Prep and Mother Teresa Academy had the opportunity to be on retreat together last Friday for moments of recharge. Led by Dr. Tim Hogan, psychologist/author/teacher, faculty and staff members had the opportunity to reflect on relationships through conversation and moments of reflection. The retreat helped dive further into our school year theme of “Be the Light,” and culminated in Mass with Fr. Ben as the celebrant. A special thank you to Gannon for use of their facilities and to the Catholic Foundation of Northwest PA who helped with sponsoring our presenter for the day. #Prep #MTA #Family

Last week, our AFJROTC cadets had the privilege of visiting our little brothers and sisters at Mother Teresa Academy. Our cadets proudly performed a flag and drill ceremony and taught students the basic principles and movements of drill.
It was a fantastic opportunity for our high school cadets to serve as role models, practice leadership, and share what they’ve learned—while making it fun and engaging for the younger students. Everyone involved had a great time, and the experience was rewarding for cadets and students alike.
