A picture perfect start to the school year

Posted

On Monday, August 27, members of the faculty and staff of La Salle Academy gathered at Holy Apostles Parish in Cranston for the opening of school retreat. Traditionally, the retreat day begins with prayer and the introduction and welcoming of new faculty and staff members. Twelve new members of the school community were greeted by all gathered and presented with a La Salle gift. Katie Haidemenos, a LSA Campus Minister, assisted by a group from PeaceLove, above, directed the activities of the retreat. PeaceLove empowers individuals and communities to share and discover new tools for mental wellness through expressive arts programs and storytelling. Small groups of faculty and staff participated in the expressive art therapy activities including painting, reflection, and sharing. Father Thomas Woodhouse, school chaplain, celebrated Mass for the group in the church and the day concluded with lunch in the Parish Center.
