Founders Week

What I learned in Founders week is that Notre Dame de Namur school has a very high motivation on teaching and cares a lot about promoting education. My first activity that I attended was a scholarly session with Father Edie, who was a great father and other fathers should follow in his foot steps. I was asked if I could be on the board and ask some personal questions, which were would priest be able to get married, and how does he feel that in Narco Violence gunmen pray before they kill people? I was expecting Father Eddie to just go around the my answers and just give an unclear answers, but he did not. He went on to say that changes are happening in the church and he believes that in the future priest will be permitted to get married. My second question for me was the hardest to ask because it had violence and a little of definitions to be given. But Father Eddie answered my question that this is nothing new, when the Spanish kicked out the Muslims they use to part to justify killings. A very controversial question was also asked what his though of homosexuality, and he gave us a quote that our Pope states, which gives me faith that my religion will not be extinct because it is moving toward change. What I learned about founders week shows the dedication that NDNU has toward education I also learned about Julia's original teaching. I have felt that in a way I should get a career that I can help people but people with no voice or that cannot be represented. I also attended the Lunch in with the sisters which was amazing. I cannot believe that they are still active fighting issues this is amazing. Sister Margaret is fighting so the Keith stone pipeline doesn't get passed because it is a line that will bring oil form Canada in a pipe and will pass by our water reservoirs. She is vey passionate about the issue and goes to meeting and is looking for people to recruit.
