Pizza with Padre

Ever have a question for a priest but never seem to find the time to ask it?  Pizza with Padre is the solution to that problem!  Nouvel has begun scheduling priests Fr. Steve and Fr. Andy to come sit and enjoy a free pizza lunch with students each Thursday.  Eventually, all students will have the opportunity to experience this because Mrs. Jacqmain is sending groups of ten students at a time.  The time goes through both A and B lunches, so students will miss their fifth hour.

Recently, I attended the first Pizza with Padre session and had a wonderful time.  Fr. Steve sat with us and we opened with prayer, enjoyed our lunch, played a few games, and then had an insightful discussion about Lenten practices and prayer.  The great thing about these lunches is that the topic of discussion is not limited; students can ask any question on their minds and the atmosphere is comfortable enough so that students will share their personal experiences.

Pizza with Padre is a great way to bridge the gap between priests and students, to learn more about the faith, bounce ideas off of other students, and reflect on the role of faith in your own life.
