Deep in the thick swamps and woods of Northern Gulf County, amidst the buzz and sting of mosquitoes, chirps of squirrels, and swirls of the Apalachicola, is a long-lost story. One hundred and eighty years ago the town of Iola sprang out of the cypress swamp of what is now north east Gulf County. That small community, was, and still is an enigma in the wilderness of territorial Florida and has all but faded from the memory of Gulf County and is nothing but a boat ramp now.

As I take this chance to reflect, I discovered a truth, the sky is the limit. During my years at St. Luke, I have developed as a student, an athlete, and as a member of the Catholic Church. I believe that everyone brings something special gift to the world, and I believe my gift is that of determination to become a great man through faith and education. I have been an alter server for about two years. Being an alter server has brought me closer to God and my Catholic community. Education has been a big part of my life. I can truly say I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to attend St. Luke. After St. Luke, my plans are to use my education and become prepared to take on the challenges and rewards of high school.

Their beliefs and understandings of faith are being challenged and questioned in order to strengthen their understanding. Rather than having the adults in their life tell them what to believe, they are now responsible for forming opinions about everything in their lives. For this reason, it is vital that students stay connected to God during their college years. If they are not firmly grounded in truth, the controversial ideology that college courses may bring will easily sway them. If a spiritual foundation is not there, a student will face a “spiritual struggle: an experience with which many students are familiar, particularly those who concern themselves with deep reflection on faith, purpose, and life

He is typically depicted with a book and the baby Child Jesus and is commonly referred to today as the "finder of lost

The UNB Saint John campus is located north of the city’s central “uptown” area and overlooks the majestic Kennebecasis River. It is located on 100 Tucker Park Road and annually occupies approximately 2,550 students.

My confirmation saint is ST. George. St. George was born circa 280 in Cappadocia, an area that is now part of Turkey. I chose St. George because he was brave in professing his faith. St. George was raised as a catholic and had a father who was martyred for his faith. At a young age, St. Georgie served in the Roman army under the Emperor Diocletian and was applauded many times for his excellent service to the Empire. From the rule of the Emperor Decian, until 284 A.D., when Diocletian became Emperor, the Christian Church went through a period of peace. After Diocletian had repressed the barbarian tribes which were attacking the Empire and after he had held its borders, he began to concentrate on the Empire's inner affairs. Diocletian believed

Life is like a rollercoaster; full of ups and downs, successes and failures -- even at the green age of 16 I understand this concept pretty well, and realize I will experience my share of both in life. I realize this is not a failure. All the events and activities I have participated in have been due to sheer love and enjoyment, and my knowledge gained from such experiences will aid me always, whether I attend to other schools or not. Still, St.Paul lingers in my mind, and I must exhaust all enrollment opportunities to be fully content with the application

Saint Francis, widely known as Saint Francis of Assisi, is one of the world’s most beloved and well-known saints. He’s the patron of animals, merchants, and ecology. Saint Francis was born in Assisi, Italy in 1181 to very wealthy parents. Pietro Bernardone, the father of St. Francis, a very wealthy merchant returned from a trip to France to find out his wife had given birth to a son. The last thing Pietro wanted was a son that was a man of God, he wanted a man of businessman as a son, a great merchant like he was, and he wanted a son who would reflect his love with France. So he renamed his son Francesco, which was a calling of a Frenchman.

St. Anthony, Patron saint of the poor, people whose lives seem uprooted or misdirected, and finding lost objects, is a good saint that I pray to personally and often.

St Dominic was born at the Kingdom of Castile in Calaruegua to Felix and Joan Guzman in 1170. St. Dominic’s mother had a dream before he was born, she said while she was dreaming a dog leaped from her womb with a torch in its mouth and that it seemed to light the world on fire. That’s how his parents gave him the named Dominic meaning “The Dog of the Lord”. Joan told her husband the next day and he was speechless at what he had heard. St. Dominic was very smart and loved to learn about the Catholic Faith.

For centuries human beings have been questioning the existence of God. This has led to numerous questions and theories. For instance, if God is all-know, all-loving, all-powerful then why does he allow tragedies, natural disasters and overall bad things to occur? Is he willing to remove all evils but not able to? Then he must not be all powerful. The Greek philosopher Epicurus stated: is he able but not willing? Then God must not be all good. Is he able and willing? Then why is there evil? Or is God neither? In that case why is there a being called God? These particular questions lead to the problem of evil argument, which is an argument against the existence of God. Evil is all things that are bad in the world. There are two types of evil, moral and natural evil. This includes physical pain, emotional suffering, unfairness and morally wrong deeds. In this world that God has created his guidance and care has been almost non-existent. There are a large number of kind, innocent people who have experienced tragedy as a result of all the evil in the world, some have even lost their lives.

Many people in the world seen Saint John Bosco as just another Saint and many people admire him for the man he was here on earth. Including all the wonderfully kind acts he has done for people all over the world. Although many people see him as a Saint others see him as a devoted and kind hearted man. One that would stick up for his beliefs and get into fights for his religion (Which he soon stopped doing after his dream). There are many virtues that John Bosco related to, but there are a few that I myself can relate to.

Bible Truth: Jesus rose from the dead. This fulfilled God's promise for salvation for all.

I am arguing about the issue whether God cannot or will not prevent evil, I chose to argue that God is not limited in either power or benevolence. The truth is that God will not prevent evil. This does not take away God’s benevolence. If we did not have free will, we might all have the mentality of robots. As a matter of fact, God does not want his children to be forced to love him, he wants us to willingly choose to follow him and to love him.

Saint Anne was born in the House of David in Bethlehem and was the patron saint of mothers. She was known as being a highly spiritual woman and the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, grandmother of Jesus Christ.
