Hello Everyone I hope Mother’s Day & Teacher Appreciation Week was enjoyable for you all.. My Mother’s Day weekend included the celebration of my granddaughter’s college graduation. I am Thankful to God for being able to be a part of such a great event. In many places across our parish, numerous graduations have taken place from Pre-K to college with great pride and excitement. I wish ALL graduates much success in all of their future endeavors.
