Students gathered in front of the Admin Bldg this a.m. to pray for the 17 victims of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas H.S. They were reminded of the words of St. Teresa: “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” pic.twitter.com/piqbSnb9en

To promote unity and love for one another, Austin Catholic chose to "Pray Out" for Peace instead of "Walking Out" today. The organized 17 minute prayer service, held at 10 a.m. in the Chapel, allowed Austin students, faculty, and staff to Pray for Parkland. #PrayOutForPeace pic.twitter.com/GVj2N6p4Yk
