Today we celebrated our beloved foundress —St. Madeleine Sophie Barat — with not one, but two simultaneous celebrations. A full school liturgy for Grades 3-12 was held in the Original Gym, officiated by Fr. Jim Richards, and a second ceremony was held for our youngest students. Both included song, prayer, and reflection, and gave us the opportunity to acknowledge the simple wisdom of Sophie’s message: “Be humble, be simple, and bring joy to others.”
We also used the opportunity of our Feast Day to acknowledge and thank our special guests including our RSCJ, our long-serving faculty and staff who together have given us 281 years of service, and our ten-year students.
