Psalm 37: 23-28

The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
They are always generous and lend […]
Brother Rice High School Expands Financial Support for First Responders

Jack B: experience of happiness – experience of hurt
An experience of happiness I had was the entire season of football. We all worked very hard the entire offseason to make it back to the state championship. We went 5-4 in the regular season, but were able to grow closer as a team. When we faced Minooka in the Quarterfinals Of playoffs, that is when we really started to love each other. That game was a #1 team against the #24 team in 8a. The entire game, we absolutely demoralized them, capitalizing on every play. However, in the Semi Final […]

ordinary things with extra-ordinary love.

Growing up on the Southside, Patrick J. Bonnema’s dream was to attend Brother Rice High School to play baseball. He took the entrance exam and was accepted, but there was a considerable obstacle that couldn’t be overcome:
“He was one of nine Bonnema children in his family, so money was really tight and his parents couldn’t afford to send him to Brother Rice,” said his daughter, Brittany Sullivan. Patrick ended up attending Hubbard High School, where he excelled at baseball, eventually trying out for three Major League Baseball teams. He eventually went on to great success in his […]
