Notre Dame Cathedral, Pat Lewis Commissioned just for the Annual Gala, this gorgeous painting of the Cathedral of Notre Dame by acclaimed Atlanta artist Pat Lewis is a beautiful memorial to the fallen church. After the fire that destroyed the structure in April 2019, Pat was inspired by—of course—the beauty of Notre Dame Cathedral; but also the excitement, creativity, and determination that comes with building a new chapter in the Cathedral’s existence.

Varsity basketball rose to the occasion last Friday, January 10, when both the girls and boys teams beat Notre Dame Academy. The girls took an early lead and kept their game consistent throughout the match, solidifying the win. The boys game started a little differently with Cougars slightly trailing the Irish, but the second half flipped the script. Our boys turned on the pressure in the 3rd quarter, secured the lead, and won the game!
Middle school girls basketball had a tough two games upon returning from Christmas break, but the second game's score showed that the girls are significantly improving despite their season record. The girls competed against St. Martin's and put 21 points on the scoreboard - the most of any game this season! Four players each scored over 4 points, and Grayson Ciprari led in scoring with 9 points.

Holy Spirit Prep celebrates its inaugural International Day at the Lower School on January 31! This is a time when students, families, and staff get together to celebrate different cultures through music, art, dance, and food. It’s an opportunity to get to know and experience a different culture or to educate your friends about your own culture!
Each grade level will be celebrating a culture that is represented by a student in their classroom. The parent of that student will be coming into the classroom in the morning to give a brief presentation about the culture and traditions that are celebrated in this culture. We have parents from Sweden, Kenya, and South Korea (just to name a few!) coming in to share with our students. The day will end with a closing ceremony for our PK-4th grade students, and a soccer tournament for our IB students.
At the Lower School, students will be engaged with the daily themes of Catholic Schools Week by participating in the following activities:

THEO 650: Introduction to Moral Theology Fr. Paul Burke, JCL Mondays, January 6 - April 27 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. | Malta Hall
This course examines the moral life in the light of human reason illumined by faith in Christ – a faith mediated by the Scriptures, the Catholic tradition and the living Magisterium of the Church. The course first treats basic questions of fundamental moral theology such as the question of human purpose, happiness, the meaning of moral freedom, the role of conscience and its relationship with the moral teachings of the Church, the character of natural moral law and the way in which this law is perfected by the revealed law of love, the structure of the human act, virtue and vice, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit as related to the moral life. On this basis, the course then examines Catholic teachings regarding social ethics, social justice, marriage and family, human sexuality, and health care ethics. Pope John Paul II’s Veritatis Splendor is a primary text of the course. Many of these topics will be explored with reference to Aquinas’s Summa theologiae. (3 credit hours; $300 audit fee)
Reformation and Revolt: An Early History of Protestantism and Its Consequences Mr. John Henry Spann, MTS Thursdays, January 16 - March 25 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. | St. John Bosco Academy
This course will delve into the first 170 years of Protestantism in Western Europe and elsewhere. The course will cover the origins of Protestant thought and trace the early theological, structural, and historical evolution of the Protestant movements following Luther’s break with the Catholic Church. It will examine the Church’s response to and the consequences of the spread of Protestantism, and will include the Church’s positions with a focus on apologetics. (Audit fee $99) Holy Icons in Christian Worship Through the Centuries Fr. Panayiotis Papageorgiou, Ph.D. Mondays, January 27 - March 2 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. | Malta Hall
