Unity Day Focuses on "The Full Circle of Humility"

On October 31, St. Sebastian’s held its annual Unity Day, a day to deepen awareness of every person’s dignity and strengthen the bonds that unite us, helping all grow in our capacity and resolve to know, love, and serve God and neighbor. 

This year’s keynote speaker was Ron Burton, Jr., who addressed the student body on what he called “the full circle of humility,” sharing powerful stories about his late father, Ron Burton, Sr.  Ron Sr. grew up in Ohio and attended Northwestern University, where he earned All-American status as a running back. He was later chosen as the number one draft pick by the Boston Patriots with their first ever draft choice in 1960.   

After retiring from professional football, Ron Sr. felt called to give back and founded the Ron Burton Training Village in 1985. The Ron Burton Training Village brings together young people from across the country to focus on leadership, physical fitness, spiritual growth, and academic excellence, all within an environment built on love and service.   

Representatives from RBTV spent the day on campus leading Arrows through activities that included reflection, team building, communication games, rocket building, trampoline jumping and maze navigation. The day underscored the profound impact our words and actions have on others, reminding everyone that we are called to treat one another with dignity and respect. As Ron Jr. emphasized, the full circle of humility reminds us that we need others—and others need us—to hold us accountable, encourage us, share wisdom, and point us toward Christ.
