On Friday, November 22nd, school leaders from throughout the Archdiocese of Boston gathered together for a morning of prayer, reflection, and conversation. 
 Facilitated by Mary Ann McLaughlin of the former Office of Spiritual Life, time was spent discussing the Paschal Mystery and where we see it at work in our own lives. Participants were led through imaginative prayer using Henry Ossawa Tanner's painting, "The Annunciation." The day concluded with Mass where Bishop Mark O'Connell, Vicar General was the celebrant.
