Aurora's Marmion Academy tackles a new year, its first as a coed school

For the first time in its more than 100 years, Marmion Acacdemy in Aurora welcomed girls as students this fall. So far, so good, according to the Rev. Joel Rippinger, abbot of Marmion Abbey. “You can’t stay around … by just doing the same old, same old,” he said.
