As part of Catholic Schools Week 2025, St. Ann Classical Academy had the privilege of welcoming the Priests of the Raritan Oratory of St. Philip Neri and the Religious Teachers Filippini for a special day dedicated to vocations.
The day began with a light reception, where students and faculty had the opportunity to greet and thank our guests for their ministry. The priests and sisters then visited classrooms, where they prayed with students, offered blessings, and answered a variety of thoughtful questions. From inquiries about the path to becoming a priest or religious sister to lighthearted favorites like their preferred foods, students were eager to learn more about the calling to religious life.
We are especially grateful to our National Junior Honor Society students for hosting this event and ensuring a warm welcome for our guests. A heartfelt thank you to the priests and sisters who shared their time, wisdom, and joyful witness to God's call. Their presence was an inspiration to all, reminding us of the beauty and importance of vocations in the life of the Church.
