What's Good?

DeSpiritus members Morgan and Aaron tell us about their weekend plans and Mikie joins in on a discussion on anxiety in reflecting upon St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians (This Sunday’s Second Reading). We are joined by a surprise “celebrity” guest, birthday boy Vincent! These young people share some great insight and I think we can all take something away about how we deal with our own anxiety. Give it to God!

This past week is the week SSPP HS supports “Talbot Goes Purple,” raising awareness to drug and substance abuse. The DeSpiritus class conducted some literature review and shares what they found with us this week — from the origins of “Talbot Goes Purple” and statistics to what the Church and the community is doing to help those who suffer from addiction and to what schools, specifically, are doing to bring this awareness to students.

If you know anyone who may be struggling with drug or substance addiction, please reach out to them and let them know you are there for them and that they are not alone. Assist them in getting help if they are open to it. The one thing we can all do is pray for them.

*This episode is marked as explicit because it discusses drug and substance abuse.

The DeSpiritus class grills — interviews, rather, SSPP’s new principal, Mr. Scott Wilson. Mr. Cheung starts off the conversation by asking Mr. Wilson about his role and prior experiences. Following that, Mr. Wilson answers a series of questions from the students.

Join the DeSpiritus Team as they discuss their progress on their college applications and learn a bit about our new science teacher, Ms. Sydney Christian and, our new Director of School and College Counseling, Mrs. Kristi King.
