The Academy’s Living in Faith Experience (LIFE) team will hold the first monthly gathering of the Lancer Christian Community (LCC) to create fellowship and deepen students’ faith.

LCC is an opportunity for students to profess their faith publicly through activities, such as creation of a prayer wall, that encourage fellowship with others and for students to live following Jesus’ example.

Junior Shelly Aquino said, “I love that the activities are hands-on. The LCCs always incorporate real life into Jesus’ teachings and my faith has deepened because of it.

Two LIFE members coordinate each monthly meeting.

Senior Nicole Pagdilao, LIFE member, said, “I have participated at the LCCs in the past and now I get to lead them and share my experience with the students.”

The theme for the first LCC is “Start A Fire,” the theme for the summer LIFE retreat in California.

The school mass, the Mass of the Holy Spirit, will be in the morning and reflected in the LCC.

Sr. Katherine Francis Miller, campus minister, said, “‘Start a fire’ in your soul is a great way to gather as the Lancer Christian Community: starting a fire of learning, of kindness and of reaching out to others.”

All students are welcome at the LCC gatherings. The first will be held on Sept. 4 during lunch in Room A306.
