Chips for Life Members Attend Pro-Life Youth Leadership Summit Members of Archbishop Chapelle High School’s Chips for Life Club recently attended the Pro-Life Youth Leadership Summit sponsored by Louisiana Right to Life. The summit, held at the Old State Capitol in Baton Rouge, welcomed students from schools across the area for a day focused on education, leadership, and advocacy. The event provided students with the opportunity to learn more about what it means to be pro-life, including education on the reality of abortion, Louisiana laws regarding life issues, and ways to thoughtfully respond to common questions and objections about the pro-life movement. Students also explored how they can use their voices to speak up for life in their schools, communities, and beyond. Throughout the summit, students heard from a variety of speakers and witnesses, including women impacted by abortion, Louisiana Surgeon General Dr. Evelyn Griffin, OB-GYN, Secretary of State Nancy Landry, and other leaders. Their testimonies and presentations offered students both information and personal perspectives on the importance of protecting life. For Chapelle’s Chips for Life members, the summit served as both an educational experience and a leadership opportunity. Students shared that they were especially impacted by what they learned and felt better prepared to understand and discuss pro-life topics with compassion and confidence.  As Chapelle prepares for Pro-Life Month in October, this summit helped equip students with knowledge, perspective, and encouragement to continue living out their commitment to respecting and defending the dignity of every human life. We are proud of our Chips for Life members for representing Chapelle and for their willingness to grow as informed and compassionate leaders.

Class of 2027 Senior Retreat at Camp Abbey Archbishop Chapelle High School’s Class of 2027 spent time away at Camp Abbey Retreat Center for their Senior Retreat. The retreat was centered around Psalm 34:8: “O taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!” Throughout the retreat, seniors reflected on what it means to truly experience God’s goodness in every season of life, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Students heard talks from Chapelle faculty members as well as guest speaker Jason Angelette, each encouraging them to recognize God’s presence, trust in His promises, and take refuge in Him. The retreat offered many opportunities for prayer and spiritual growth, including silent prayer and reflection, Adoration, Confession, praise and worship, and Mass. These moments gave students the chance to pause, reflect, and deepen their relationship with God as they begin their final year at Chapelle. In addition to the spiritual components of the retreat, the Class of 2027 also enjoyed time together through fun and fellowship. Students participated in a scavenger hunt, spent free time playing outdoor games such as basketball, gaga ball, kickball, and spikeball, explored hiking trails, and gathered around a campfire to make s’mores. The Senior Retreat was a meaningful opportunity for the Class of 2027 to grow in faith, strengthen their bonds as classmates, and reflect on the goodness of God as they continue their senior year. We are grateful for this special time together and look forward to all that is ahead for our seniors.

Career Engagement Spotlight: Taylor Tom ’16 Archbishop Chapelle High School was excited to welcome Taylor Tom ’16 back to campus as part of our Career Engagement Series. Taylor visited with students to share more about her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist and the meaningful work she does helping others communicate. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, Taylor works with children who may need support with communication, whether they are learning to communicate for the first time or working on developing clearer speech. Her work helps children build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and connect more fully with the people around them. Taylor also shared that speech-language pathologists can work with adults who experience communication challenges due to medical concerns such as strokes or neurological diseases. This field allows professionals to support people of many ages and needs, making a lasting impact on their quality of life. Currently, Taylor works with children ages 0-3 in their homes and daycares. Through early intervention, she helps young children develop important communication skills during a critical time in their growth and development. We are grateful to Taylor for returning to Chapelle to share her career journey, her expertise, and her passion for helping others find their voice. Her visit gave students a meaningful look into the field of speech-language pathology and the many ways this career can make a difference in the lives of others.  Thank you, Taylor, for inspiring our students and representing the Chapelle sisterhood so well!
