We just got back from the annual St. Ignatius Cleveland Orchestra Christmas concert. It was awesome. The kids really enjoyed it, as well. One highlight was having the Orchestra Choir sing the Ignatius Alma Mater.
The Ignatius Alma Mater is really something special. I remember the first time Jackson and his new classmates had to sing it together for the first time their freshman year. It was neat then, and is still really cool. I remember last year when the Ignatius soccer team marched to the state title. After their District, Regional and State Final wins, they came over to the stands and sang it. Same thing this year.
For some odd reason, the song always brings tears to my eyes ... and I didn't even go there.
Here it is:
Our famed Alma Mater graces
Every shrine within our hearts
With her unforgotten faces,
And the faith that she imparts.
Years in passing cannot sever
Ties of new days from the old.
We're Ignatius men forever
As we hail the blue and gold.
