Since then, the school has blossomed, with 460 students now enrolled. In his homily, Bishop Tobin used the analogy of students trying to find their way in a corn maze to explain how strong faith will provide them with the best perspective from which to lead good, holy lives, much like a tower in the center of a maze provides them with a vantage point from which to find their way.
