The Academy held its annual OLSWA formal on January 10th in special remembrance of the Feast of Epiphany. The students had freshly returned from Christmas holidays and were enthusiastic to celebrate the beginning of a new semester. Earlier in the day a bustling crew of volunteers transformed the basement of St. Hedwig Church into a hall of glowing candles and glittering lights, sweeping hangings, and exquisitely decorated tables. At evening all of the students, teachers, and staff arrived in their formal dress. After everyone mingled and greeted each other for a while, our school President Dr. Warner gave a short welcome, and people sat down to enjoy a lovely four-course dinner. At the end of the meal, two of the students performed a song for the ladies, while all of the men present left their seats and honoured every single woman in the room by presenting them each with a flower.

After the meal, fine coffees and desserts baked by the students were brought out on tables. The lights were dimmed, and a student-led band kicked-off a night of dancing and entertainment.

Thank you to all the men of St. Paul Residence for organizing a wonderful evening of prayer and socializing to honour St. Paul’s Conversion. ¸

On Sunday, January 25th, the men residents of St. Paul’s invited all students and teachers to join them in an evening of praise and celebration. The night began with vespers followed by songs of worship. The boys had decorated their home cafe-style—complete with fine baked desserts, hot chocolate, fancy teas, and delicious coffees. Everyone enjoyed the refreshments and each other’s company for a while, and then to end off the evening, the lights were dimmed and a projector screen set up. The home-made movie, featuring the Epic Men of St. Paul Residence, played scenes from the many adventures and memories of the students’ year thus far at OLSWA.
