“Grapevine Faith defeated the
Blazers twice this year in district play. Both times by a score of 2-0.
Juan
Carlos Mayagoitia opened the scoring in today’s game within 21
minutes when his cross went off a defender for the first goal. The score remained 1-0 at halftime,
but it didn’t last for long.
Senior captain Jose Pecego scored 14 seconds into the second half
off of a feed from David Lopez.
Jose scored again 5 minutes later on a free kick and then Jose go
the hat trick 6 minutes later when Carlos Rocha crossed in a ball and Jose
headed it in. Carlos Rocha then
added a goal when Juan Carlos touched a ball to him. Andres Lopez took a deflection off
the goalkeeper for the 6th goal and sweeper

The Highlands School will
have the honor of receiving a visit from
Bishop Kevin Farrell this March 14, 2008.
To show our gratitude and support for
our Bishop, we wish to offer him a spiritual bouquet. A
spiritual bouquet is a list of different prayers or sacrifices that someone
pledges to offer for the person who receives it. Anyone who desires
may add their amount of promised prayers (for example: attend Mass and
offer it for him or her 5 days, pray 5 Hail Mary’s, etc.) or
sacrifices (sacrifices could include anything from not gossiping to
offering up a physical suffering) for the other person.
All students, faculty and their
families are invited to click on this link to The Highlands School website
and enter the number of Masses, visits to Christ in the Eucharist,
mysteries of the rosary, virtuous acts that entail some small sacrifice and
works of Christian charity or kindness that they promise to offer on behalf
of Bishop Farrell. Each person should
enter the number that he or she actually plans to offer for the bishop.
We will add up the total number in each category and present this as a gift
to Bishop Farrell on the day of his visit, so that he may feel encouraged
knowing that so many prayers are being offered by our community on his
behalf.
Please
take a moment to participate in our spiritual bouquet, even if only to
offer a single visit to the Eucharist or a single Mass for our
bishop. Not one is insignificant in the eyes of God.
