Every year we take the time to honor our graduating high school seniors by holding a special Mass in their honor. One teen is chosen to give a Gospel Reflection and Senior Address to their fellow peers, recapping the incredible moments of faith and friendship they’ve experienced here at Holy Family and challenging those moving on to continue to own their Catholic identity wherever God takes them next. CLICK HERE to read the 2019 Senior refelctions.
This year, Maksymillian Marciniak not only addressed his fellow seniors with a powerful reflection, but he personally wrote and performed a rap dedicated to our very own Holy Family community. The impact that Holy Family has had on Maks only pales in comparison to the impact Maks has had on all of us. We are so proud and we wish him, and all the 2019 seniors, unlimited blessings and adventures as they continue their journeys outside the walls of our beloved church.
We hope you enjoy this video.
I wanna dedicate this to my church so I wrote it a rap, yeah I know I’m probably the first one to do that, but I know that if I ever feel hurt I can come right here, and my voice will always be heard I’ve never been a part of another community as accepting as Holy Family, and I say that truthfully The people here have taught me what to do, and who to be there’s been no better place for me to grow my faith as a teen As we go away to college we might get emotional but I hope everyone will be back to visit in the future so Don’t worry about it, I just wanna let you know that for me, Holy Family always will be a second home The last couple years for me have flown by we’ve made so many memories, had so many good times This is what I looked forward to, every Sunday night of every week, ever since Ignite Now as we move forward, for everyone sitting here just a couple years ago we never thought that we’d be getting here It just seemed so far away, but now we’ve arrived as peers we might have cried some tears along the way but now we’re right here And I just think it’s important As we move forward to find another group that’s supportive But that’s also fun, just to make sure that we never get bored of it To start become part of one and just make sure you’re loving it And never give up on it I know that we won’t, no matter what happens, wherever we go It’s crazy that this place has had such a big impact on me, so I just wanted to say thank you, to Holy Family
