Students comment on Pope Francis
Posted on: March 14, 2013

The Orange County Register visited Cornelia Connelly School Wednesday to witness the historic election of Pope Francis. Students and faculty used their iPads and SMART Boards as the world hailed the new pope. Connelly's Religious Studies Department Chair Nicholas Olszyk and Taylor Medina '14 were quoted in the newspaper's printed story. Photos of Angelica Sunga '14, Tran Truong '14 and Erynn Clark '14 were included in the collection of local photos posted online with an abbreviated version of the story.

Nicholas Olszyk, Chair of the Religious Studies Department: "All I'm seeing now is humility, humility, humility. Everything he did was very symbolic. This is someone who makes it clear from the beginning, 'I'm colloquial. I'm with you. I'm one of the people.' I've been very impressed."

Taylor Medina, '14: "It was just such a joyous occasion. I prayed for the conclave to be able to decide on someone who will be able to lead our Catholic community in a positive way.

"I teach at Connelly because this school empowers its students to become strong, confident thinkers in a joyous and happy learning environment. I have a special privilege to see God every day in the faces and actions of my students."
Michael Ambrose,
Math teacher

"I feel privileged to go to a school where I know everyone there cares about me and supports me. Connelly has helped me grow in my faith and build my confidence. I could not have picked a better school for high school."
Raynee, Class of 2013

"I had a pretty remarkable experience at Connelly. I think it was the catalyst for my university acceptance. I owe the rest of my life decisions and career choice to that experience at Connelly."
Sally Polk-Garcia '73
