On Friday, November 12th, 2021, Kellenberg Memorial High School hosted an Evening of Recollection for the freshman and sophomores. This was a night of prayer and activity, and took place in the auditorium, gymnasium, and cafeteria.
First, the students gathered in the auditorium and listened to a talk from their Marianist Mentors, senior leaders at Kellenberg that help guide the younger students. Afterwards, everyone gathered in prayer.
Next, the two divisions participated in various games and activities before heading to the cafeteria to enjoy pizza that the school provided for them.
Sophomore Kenny Kaywood stated, “The Evening of Recollection was a good mix of religious experience and activity. It was moving and enlightening.”
The evening ended in the gym where Bishop Andrzej talked about the importance of going to Mass, and how it is never too late to start. He also spoke about love and to never be embarrassed to show one’s faith.
Sophomore Eoghan Walsh said of the event, “The Evening of Recollection brought me closer with my friends and opened me up to even more aspects of our faith. It was truly an eye opening experience.”
