Holy Week
This Holy Week we’re going Tech Free!! The goal of our tech free week is to guide students towards a better understanding of the ways technology can be both helpful and harmful. The important part of this exercise (and any time we “give up” something) is to spend time reflecting. Where did the lack of technology draw me closer to God? Where was the lack of technology holding me back from my magis? How can I go forward once technology is reissued?
