This week in Catholic Social Teaching, the seniors are learning about manners and etiquette. They’re exploring why manners are essential for upholding human dignity and for building a flourishing, healthy society. Topics include becoming a self-gift to others, having a good conversation, adapting manners to different environments, and, finally, dining etiquette. Today, the seniors learned how to properly eat soup—though we practiced the skills using cereal! There were some minor spills, major giggles, and all in all, it was a great success!
