Everest Academy was blessed with a visit from  Fr. John Belmonte, S.J., Ph.D. , Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Joliet, on Friday, May 20, the feast of St. Bernardine of Siena. Father John led the entire school in morning prayers.  Father also took time to greet parents who were present for a meeting at school that morning.

He spent time getting to know our students better by visiting each of the classrooms.   While in the classrooms he shared a bit about St. Bernardine and his great love for the Holy Name of Jesus.  Fr John explained that St. Bernadine is associated with the Greek monogram for the name of Jesus, IHS, which the saint would devoutly display the monogram during his popular sermons.

Let’s keep Fr. John in our prayers, as he leads the schools of the Diocese of Joliet.  We are grateful for his friendship.
