From the Principal
We had a packed church today as we took time to recognize moms. The morning kicked off with May Crowning. This church service centers on the 8th graders, preparing for graduation and 2nd graders, preparing for their First Holy Communion. During this ceremony, we recognize Mary, the mother of the church, with contemplative prayer and song. Immediately following, was the Mother's Day Mass. It is always entertaining to have the children share what makes their mom unique. Through the eyes of a child, the job of being a mom seems so simple. As a principal, wife, and mother I know first hand the many amazing things each of you as a mother. Please take the time this weekend to celebrate the gifts that you have and be proud of the role you play the life of your child —Happy Mother's Day to all the moms.
Many blessings,
Mrs. Molly Hibler
