On November 5th, the Kellenberg community came together for its first XLT of the 2021-22 school year. XLT is a Kellenberg tradition where the student body comes together the first Wednesday evening of each month for dinner, song, and Eucharistic Adoration. Each XLT is a unique experience, as each one involves a different member of the Kellenberg faculty giving a witness talk. Wednesday evening, students came together for a pizza dinner in the cafeteria before heading upstairs to the Millenium Room for Eucharistic Adoration. The student body came out in droves for the first XLT of the year. Mr. Christopher Lyons ‘07 gave a powerful reflection on the “whys” in life and the questions that we ask God when we encounter difficulties. For many students attending, it was their first XLT ever. When asked about her first XLT, Freshman Emily Artese, said “ XLT for me was very prayerful, inspiring, and brought me closer to God. It was a welcome return to adoration, as last year only one XLT was held due to Covid. This year the Kellenberg already looks to improve on last year’s count, as the second XLT is already scheduled for Dec 1st.
