Spirit Week 2012 was celebrated between October 9th and 12th. It gave the student body an opportunity to celebrate the mission of Mount Royal Academy in a variety of ways. Students were relieved to forgo the regular dress code for the entire week, and responded very passionately by dressing according to special themes chosen by the Student Government.

Here is a recap of how students demonstrated school spirit each day of the week: Tuesday was sportswear day, giving students the opportunity to represent their favorite professional team or athlete;  on Wednesday students came to school featuring...

On Friday October 5th the Mount Royal school community renewed one of its most enduring traditions. Ever since its origins, MRA has made a special pilgrimage to honor the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Every October 7th students forgo most of their regularly scheduled academic activities, which is exciting for them of course, but also prompts the question: why make such a sacrifice for an old and seemingly insignificant tradition?

Traditions affirm the meaningfulness of life, and on occasion traditions can show us the providential hand of God directing our lives back to Him. Our...

On Saturday September 22^nd, the Mount Royal school community gratefully welcomed Bishop Peter Libasci onto our new campus. Bishop Peter graciously accepted the school’s invitation to visit, celebrate Mass, and then rededicate the revamped campus a few weeks ago. It was most fitting that Bishop Peter visit on a Saturday, providing us with the opportunity to renew our school’s mission, while at the same time reconsecrating the school in honor to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since the beginning, Mount Royal has maintained a deep devotion to Our Lady, constantly imploring her intercession along with o...

Today we honored the victims of the September 11th tragedies with a morning ceremony around the flag pole outside. We also recognized those members of our school community whom are active public servants as medical professionals, policeman, fireman, or in the armed services.

Below is a text of the prayer recited by the Student Government president Matthew Bocko.

Almighty God, Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and King of all Nations, 
we beg your continued blessings upon all those who proudly call America home.

On this the eleventh anniversary of the tragedies of September 11th...

Just a reminder...Back To School Mass/Potluck THIS SUNDAY, September 9

1. We are hoping that as many of you as possible will come and celebrate the start to the 2012-2013 school year at the 10 a.m. Mass at St. Joachim in Sunapee. EVERYONE is invited to attend this Mass, regardless of whether or not you are Catholic.
