The Wildwood Catholic Academy community welcomed Bishop Joseph A. Williams on Sept. 28 for the annual Mass of the Holy Spirit. Father Cadmus Mazzarella, pastor of Notre Dame de la Mer Parish, and Father Christopher Myers, the school’s director of Catholic identity, concelebrated the Mass.
Reflecting on Luke’s Gospel from the day, Bishop Williams asked students why the disciples argued about who was the greatest – the “GOAT,” as one might say today – and what qualities someone as such. He encouraged them to think not “what makes someone popular or smarter than others,” but instead, of those who may feel overlooked, especially in their classrooms or among their peers.
After Mass, Bishop Williams spent time with members of the senior and eighth-grade leadership teams. They discussed the students’ college plans, the future and God’s call in their lives. Principal Joseph Cray, reflecting on the Bishop’s homily, said the students present would gladly welcome “the shyest or loneliest among the student body.”
