Welcome to the Winter 2023 edition of WORD., Bishop Kearney's Literary Magazine. Started over 10 years ago by a core group of BK students with a passion for the power of the written word, it is a testament to the voices of each generation that years later, Bishop Kearney can still proudly showcase the fine talents of its students. As William H. Gass once so eloquently wrote: "The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words." Here is to words, in all of their infinite power.
