What is a Residence Assistant (RA)?
A Residence Assistant is a full-time student, who is at least in second year. There is one RA in each household, to welcome incoming students in the fall and to ensure that the students’ needs are being met and that the household is running smoothly throughout the year. The RA’s work closely with the Dean of Student Life to carry out Academy events and activities and to enforce Academy rules and regulations.

Students at the Academy live in small men's and women's households. The households are designed to foster genuine Christian friendship and growth, and the furthering of a sacramental prayer life. Residence life is more than merely living in a "dorm". It is a place where real human development is expected to take place, a place to study, and a place to relax. The residences are, in effect, the students' homes and all residents participate in household upkeep through assigned chores each week. |

This play is the third I’ve had the privilege and the responsibility of directing for the Academy since the inception of the Don Bosco Drama Club in the Fall of 2003. People who have watched our development and perhaps attended our first two plays, Christopher Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus and Cathal Gallagher’s I Heard the Bell Toll, may have been surprised by our most recent choice. Our first was a dark tragedy with a somber message: don’t mess with the devil or he’ll mess you up. Our second was a serious story of a saintly medieval woman, Blessed Margaret of Castello. The message there: instead of blaming circumstances for our weaknesses, let’s allow God to use our infirmities to bring love, acceptance and healing to others. |

 By every human standard Margaret of Castello should have become a bitterly unhappy girl. The odds against her were enormous. She was born blind, lame, a hunchback and a midget. While still a child, her parents walled her up in a cell to conceal her identity. After several years of confinement, her parents took her to a shrine hoping for a cure. When no cure was forthcoming, they abandoned her at the shrine. She was befriended by beggars who took her in, and taught her to be one of their own.
