Class Summary - April 29th

It has been a great joy having your children in my class this year. Thank you for your sincere help in keeping them in the faith. I look forward to seeing hem around church in the future. Have a blessed summer!

Today we had to change our plans for Mary May Crowning due to snow - on the second to last day of April - oh, Pennsylvania! The children watched a film while they colored paper crowns for Mary to place on her altar in the church.
