My four years at Brother Rice High School are almost over. This is the seniors’ last week at school and we graduate on May 20.

Just thinking about that, I am glad I enrolled into Brother Rice and I wouldn’t have changed my decision if I was given the chance to. Brother Rice helped me form friendships where I could call my friends my brothers.

It helped me form these friendships through bike rides to Marist for a football game, pep rallies for homecomings, in class having fun with my classmates, in the Crusader Crazies and getting wild, and being […]

Ash Wednesday starts off Lent in the Catholic Church. The ashes people receive symbolizes death and repentance. Christians receive ashes to show repentance because they believe Christ died for us.

This Ash Wednesday, many priests and bishops of the Diocese of Chicago changed the way they gave ashes due to this pandemic.

Peer Minister Joe Hladik ’21 said, “This is a crazy year with everything going on. At first, I didn’t think I was going to be able to receive, let alone give, ashes, but I am glad I was able to. I was happy to give ashes to my […]

Two weeks ago, Marquette University, located in Milwaukee, WI, had to quarantine two dorm buildings, Cobeen Hall and Schroeder Hall.

Marquette sent emails to parents containing concerning news. Over 10% of students came back positive and 3% of residents in Schroeder Hall came back positive.

Olivia Homel ‘22 said, “Juniors and seniors live in houses or apartments. I live in an apartment so the residents are less likely to get COVID. Also, if we get COVID we already have a plan for the person that gets it.”

Marquette is requiring that students who test positive must be in isolation. They have […]
