Hello!
First off I'd like to start by thanking the person who ordered up the sunshine today, thank you! And the 70-degree day tomorrow, thank you again!
On Wednesday, I was fortunate enough to travel with our seniors and senior advisors to Winona for our annual Diocesan Baccalaureate Mass. This year's mass was held at the Basilica of St. Stanislaus Kostka. If you haven't had the chance to attend a mass there I encourage you to do so, it is stunning!
Several Diocese of Winona-Rochester made mention of how polite our students were and appreciated their cooperation during photo's and their respect shown during mass. Our seniors are a wonderful group and we have appreciated their leadership and participation in our school.
You have two opportunities here at school to show your support for them. All of our community is invited to our Baccalaureate Mass at 7pm in the Blessed Theresa Gerhardinger Chapel on Wednesday, May 15th. You may also attend our graduation ceremony on Sunday, May 19th at 7pm on The Hill in our gymnasium.
Have a great weekend!
