The halls of MKCHS were filled with reverence and devotion as students gathered for Eucharistic Adoration, a sacred time of prayer, meditation, and communion with Christ. Amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy day, hearts were opened and souls poured out to the Lord in a beautiful display of faith. Later, the entire school came together for an all-school Eucharistic Procession, weaving through campus with the Blessed Sacrament held high. Each class and teacher joined the solemn march, pausing at the corners of the main building to bless the school with Christ's presence. As the procession concluded in the gym, a Solemn Benediction marked the end of the day, leaving hearts uplifted and spirits renewed. Truly, how blessed are we to experience the love of Christ every day, and to celebrate His presence in our beloved school community.

MKCHS Social Justice students, working diligently in pairs, delved into researching various social injustices. Applying the principles of Catholic social teaching and Scripture, they crafted thoughtful action plans aimed at addressing these societal issues. The culmination of their efforts was evident in their impactful Social Justice Project presentations, where they shared not only their well-researched findings but also theological reflections, leaving the audience with a sense of hope despite the challenging topics discussed.
