Thank you to our Knights of Columbus who have replaced the original plaque in the Memorial to the Unborn on the west side of the Convent. The original plaque had become faded and difficult to read. The new plaque is made of granite and was purchased by our Knights of Columbus Council and installed in early May. You are invited to attend the Ceremony of Blessing and Dedication of the plaque on Thursday, May 17 at 6:30 pm.
