Thanks to Mrs. Joan Dowd for her hard work and dedication in preparing our second-grade class members for their respective First Holy Communions. Holy Rosary School was honored to celebrate a beautiful class Communion on Wednesday, May 15 where our entire second grade class received Holy Communion for the first time as a group. It was a memorable day for our students as well as their families, sharing a special liturgy and celebrating afterwards with a light meal for our Communicants and their invited guests.
Thank you to everyone who helped in any way to make our Race for Education such a fun and successful day for our children. A particular highlight of the day was Mrs. Melissa Skutack, assisted by Mr. Mike Berlew, in the pie-throwing contest. The children, both young and old, were amused by Mrs. Skutack being covered in whipped cream pies, all for a good cause.
