He thanked all who participated in the liturgy including servers, musicians, cantors and the children’s choir. And, he welcomed Marsha Jordan, superin- tendent of the Catholic Schools Office. Bishop Rhoades then visited the 218 stu- dents in St. Therese School, which includes pre-kindergarten. After a brief look at the computer lab he stepped into the hall and met a line of kindergarten students, taught by Missy Chapin, en route to recess. He remarked how quiet they were. He next visited Elyssa Walberry’s pre-K class. They showed him where they prayed and sang him a song. As with all the classes, Bishop Rhoades said a prayer with them at the end of his visit and gave them a blessing. The 24 second graders in Andrea Buday’s class were writing about “why they would like to be a saint” when Bishop Rhoades stepped into their classroom. He encouraged Bishop Kevin C.

Brito recently changed her to respecting different traditions — Jer. 29:11.” She worried about waiting lists for plan of college studies to pursue a career in mortuary science. and how everyone goes through the people who may need immediate care and boards that could decide how care is rationed. “My lifelong dream has always been to help save lives physically, but I also have wanted to spiritually help,” she told Today’s Catholic. Another concern was cost for premed and medical school. So Brito is pursuing a new path. “I started working on my mortuary science and business degree during the spring 2015 semester,” she said. “As I am on a waiting list to finish my mortuary degree for the 2016-17 school year, I am working currently on my business degree and hope to finish it during the 2017-18 school year.” “By being a funeral director, I am able to be a post-surgeon to reconstruct the physical body to help give the loved ones closure as well as spiritual support through the grieving process,” Brito said. This career choice enabled Brito to complete her dream of helping others. She brings personal experi- ence with the death of loved ones to her career. So how does one journey from premed to mortuary science? Shadowing experience is the quick answer. “While in the Intern Career Education program in high school,” Brito said, “I was unable to intern with a hospital due to my schedule restraints. My mother suggested job shadowing our cousin at his funeral homes nearby that would still give me the experience of surgical pro- cedures.” “During the job shadowing pro- cess, I not only saw the preparation of the deceased and the necessary paperwork on the business side, but also greeted the loved ones and friends of the deceased,” she said. “I had a different perspective about the funeral business.” Unlike surgeons only being able to spend a limited time with patients, Brito said, “I found that funeral directors continue to care for the living not only during the pre-planning and funeral service, September 20, 2015 TODAY’S CATHOLIC 13 Campus ministry empowers college students to live out faith
