Miracle Melodies at Cistercian Prep

When the saints go marching in

Cistercian schools are part of an ages-old tradition of learning truth, building character, and deepening knowledge. Where that happens successfully, the students' charisma speaks for itself and stretches far beyond campus.
At Cistercian Prep near Dallas, a group of senior boys called the Miracle Melodies give a few hours of their Monday mornings each week to worship and praise with the kids at Notre Dame School of Dallas. Notre Dame is for students with special needs.
These photos give an impression of the love being shared among kids formed by Catholic education and their joy in the Lord, celebrating the dignity of life and the power of hope.
Worship begins and ends with a Hail Mary ("because it's October"); inbetween the kids sing praise songs like "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "I'm Trading my Sorrows for the Joy of the Lord."
