Class of 2030: Their First Chapelle Retreat! What a truly special day for our Class of 2030! 💚 Our newest Chipmunks experienced their first-ever Chapelle Retreat at the CYO Office and St. Martin de Porres Church, marking a beautiful beginning to their spiritual journey at Archbishop Chapelle High School. With the guidance of our dedicated Campus Ministry Leadership Team and the support of Chapelle faculty and staff, the 8th graders spent the day growing in faith, friendship, and community — the heart of what it means to be a Chapelle student. Friendship with Jesus and Each Other The theme of the retreat, “Friendship with Jesus and Good and Holy Friendships with Each Other,” reminded students that true friendship begins with Christ and overflows into their relationships with those around them. Throughout the retreat, students: 🌿 Gathered in prayer and reflection 💬 Shared stories of their personal journeys with the Lord 🎯 Played team-building games to connect and build lasting bonds 💚 Discovered ways to nurture their faith and friendships through kindness, trust, and joy This retreat offered the Class of 2030 a meaningful glimpse into what each year of retreats will bring — opportunities to strengthen both their relationship with God and their connections with one another. Growing Closer to the Lord, Together We are so blessed to walk alongside these young women as they begin this special journey of faith and friendship. The Chapelle community looks forward to witnessing how their love for Christ and one another continues to grow throughout the years to come. Welcome, Class of 2030 — your journey of Faith, Tradition, and Excellence has just begun! 💚

By Kyla Apostolakis '26 “Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.” (adapted from Romans 8:38–39) When I read this verse, what really sticks with me is that nothing can separate us from God’s love. That’s such a powerful promise. Sometimes I feel like life is overwhelming. School, friends, activities, and just trying to figure out who I am can make it feel like God is far away. When I mess up or feel like I’m not good enough, it’s easy to forget that His love never changes. Being in high school can be a stressful experience. I’ve felt pressure to excel in class, keep up with my friends, and plan for the future. There are moments when it seems like God is quiet, but I’ve learned that He’s always close. His love isn’t something I have to earn, and it doesn’t go away just because I make mistakes or feel unsure. Even when I feel anxious, sad, or unsure about myself, the Lord’s love is still holding me. Fear, failure, or anything else can’t break that. God meets me right where I am, even in the middle of chaos or stress. This month, I want to remember that no matter what happens, God’s love is always there. I can always come back to Him because His love never gives up on me. 

💚🐿️ Open House 2025: A Night to Remember! 🐿️💚 What an incredible night at Archbishop Chapelle High School’s 2025 Open House!

👗 Totally Twisted Tuesday at Chapelle! 👠🎩 Things got fashionable on campus during Chapelle’s Totally Twisted Tuesday dress-down day! Students and faculty took the theme to heart, showing up in the wildest, wackiest outfits they could find — from mismatched patterns and funky accessories to upside-down fashion moments that had everyone smiling. 💚✨ The morning's highlight was the Totally Twisted Fashion Show, where each grade’s Top 5 Best Dressed strutted their stuff down the “runway.” Laughter, music, and applause filled the air as the crowd cheered on their classmates’ creativity and flair for fun.  Our star-studded panel of judges — Mr. Giovingo, Ms. Miller, Mrs. Pickett, Mr. McCurley, and Mrs. Hook — had the tough job of choosing just one winner from so many bold looks. After much deliberation (and plenty of giggles), they crowned Freshman Bella Pelitire as Chapelle’s #1 Best-Dressed! 👑

Walking with Faith: Honoring the Month of the Rosary 🙏 To close out the month of October — the Month of the Rosary — our entire Chapelle community came together in a beautiful display of faith and unity. All theology classes participated in a walking rosary around campus, with faculty and staff joining in prayer as well.  As students moved from one decade to the next, the campus filled with peaceful reflection and reverence. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of prayer and the special devotion to the Blessed Mother during this holy month. 💚 The walking rosary served not only as a spiritual reflection but also as a meaningful way to strengthen our shared faith community. Through prayer and reflection, we were reminded that, just as each bead of the rosary is connected, so too are we — as one Chapelle family rooted in faith. 🕊️

Respect Life Month: Sharing Hope Through Words 💌✨ October is Respect Life Month, a time to honor the dignity and value of every human life. To celebrate, the Chips for Life Club participated in an affirmation card–writing activity for the Women’s New Life Clinic. Our students wrote over 100 heartfelt cards — in both English and Spanish — offering words of encouragement, love, and hope to the women served by the clinic. Each message was a reminder that kindness and compassion can make a lasting impact. We’re so proud of our Chips for Life members for living out Chapelle’s mission through acts of faith and service!
