He appears and wishes them “peace!” St. Thomas
in his confusion regarding these events demands a
physical sign in light of the Divine mystery. Yet
when he actually sees the risen Christ, he realizes
that his request for a sign was foolish and stubborn.
The Risen Christ is among us! He calls us to a deeper faith and to put forth our best efforts at doing his
will and loving as he loves each day. St. John in his
le er to us says that those who keep the commandments of God and believe in the resurrec on
will “conquer the world.” If this is indeed the case,
then keeping in mind the power of Christ in our daily lives will certainly assist us through the challenges and difficul es we all face in our lives.
Saint Benedict, pray for us!

What is a Night at the Races?
A Night at the Races is the closest thing to being at an actual race track without being there. Included in the cket price, you will receive dinner, several
varie es of bo les beer, wine, so beverages and, of course, the races and
live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby.
Just before the start of each race, the be ng windows open for you to place
your wager. If your horse wins, you receive a payout based on the amount
wagered during the race.
Races are on DVD and are projected on the big screen for all to see. A live
race announcer will enthusias cally call each race.
This year, there will be a total of 12 races, 10 regular, 1 auc on and—of
course—the Kentucky Derby, along with a Daily Double and Trifecta Race
(see explana ons below). Each race will consist of 12 horses. All horses will
be available for sponsorship (first come, first served) and you as the “owner”
will have the right to name your horse and to collect a percentage of any
winnings.
The Auc on Race is the very last race of the evening. Usually groups of people combine resources to bid for horse sponsorship. The winning owners
split the pot with the house 50/50.
Trifecta is a bet in which the person making the wager forecasts the first
three finishers in the race in the correct order.
Daily Double is a single bet on the winners of two named races in a day.
Hat Contest: Wearing a hat to the Kentucky Derby is believe to be good
luck! Wearing a hat is much like ge ng into costume, you might be pleasantly surprised to see what type of character you become. There are no
rules or limits, it’s free to par cipate, and you could win a cash prize as a result!
When you name your horse, you are encouraged to be as crea ve and clever
as possible. Some examples are: Hoof hearted, Phil McCrackin, Ben Dover,
etc. Say these fast and you should get the idea!
So please join us for a night of fun, food, dancing, music and good company.
And remember, all proceeds go directly back into the school. Have fun and
good luck!
