The 1st years had their RE reflection day on Wednesday. They took time out of the typical school day to pause and reflect. They went to Mass, designed flowers with things they are grateful for, meditated with the guidance of Sr.Kate, learned the story of our founder Pierre Bienvenu Noailles and walked to the grotto. The HFY students also spent the day with them. A most enjoyable morning for everyone involved.
