As a wrap-up to Catholic Schools Week, Oldenburg Academy hosted the Christian rock band The Lasting Hope for an all-school concert on Friday afternoon, February 2. 200 students along with faculty and staff members attended. This is the first time OA has brought art into religion. The band was very engaging and accommodating to the study body and even invited students on stage for a mini-dance-off. They also talked about life choices and being willing to discern what we are called to do.
The Lasting Hope is from southern Indiana and was formed in 2010 while the members were in high school. Since then, they have shared the stage with artists such as TobyMac, MercyMe, 7eventh Time Down, and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
