Twenty students and five faculty/parent volunteers from Bishop Stang High School attended World Youth Day 2016 in Krakow, Poland. The students attended catechesis, praise and worship sessions, and adoration; celebrated Mass with Cardinal Sean O’Malley and Pope Francis; visited local churches and relics; met other pilgrims from around the world; experienced the Polish culture; and walked in the footsteps of Saint Pope John Paul II.
While on the pilgrimage, the students took turns carrying a school flag they had designed. Inside the STANG letters are the initials of every current Stang student, including the graduated Class of 2016, the incoming Class of 2020, and faculty/staff as well. They “carried” their intentions with them every day.
The following Bishop Stang students attended:
Kaelin Andrews, Emma Braga, Sarah Carney, Caroline Coady, Robert Coady, Annie DiGiammo, Anthony Facchetti, Dan Fealey, Isaac Fernandes, Sarah Hamel, Santiago Hirschmann, Emma Joncas, Greg Lucarelli, Caitlin McHenry, Victoria Pajak, Simone Payette, Kailee Peixoto, Alyssa Pereira, Jarod Pimental, Victoria Poland.
Group Leader Marianne Deramo and the following faculty/parents attended:
Patricia Coady, Steve McGonigle, Jana McHenry, Michelle Peixoto
