As the first notes of the gathering song rang out, invited guests knew the dedication of DBCR's new Academic and Science Wing would be full of love, joy, warmth, and "toe-tapping" beats. The program consisted of heartfelt remarks from Fr. Steve who conveyed deep gratitude and awe. "There is something much more in this facility than bricks and mortar," explained Fr. Steve.  "The heart and soul of young people and educators that fill every inch of space give real life to who we are. They are the real builders!" During the prayer service, Cardinal Wuerl shared his reflections on when the school opened and commended Fr. Steve for his clear vision of what DBCR could become. As Founding President, Fr. Steve envisioned providing a first-rate education to young people with both the need and motivation to help earn their own tuition, in an environment where they can live the school's motto, "Be who you are and be it well." - St. Francis de Sales, mentor to St. John Bosco.  Guests could feel the tangible excitement of the students, faculty and staff thriving in their new space as they live out DBCR's core tenets of faith, family, future and fun.  The gathering was particularly blessed by the engaging entertainment of Urban Nation Choir, directed by Dr. Rickey Payton, who has partnered with DBCR to offer arts elective courses this year.  After the blessing, those gathered were invited to explore the building and taste the mouth-watering desserts at the reception that followed. In summation, Fr. Steve exclaimed, "Oh what a happy day where we give every praise to our God!"
