In Honor of World Language Week, today’s morning prayer was in Latin, read by Ali Clemente. Did you ever wonder why the language of ancient Rome was called Latin and not Roman? The answer is in the fact that Romans spoke the language of the district in which they lived, Latium in Italy. Now you know. French is an official working language of the UN, the International Red Cross, The European Economic Community, NATO, and the International Olympic Committee, amongst others.
Mass will be held today at 11:15 at A Lunch with confessions after school.
