Today we joyfully celebrated the birthday of our Blessed Mother, Mary! Our school family gathered for Mass, lifted our voices in song, and followed Mary’s example by sharing acts of service and kindness with others. We ended our celebration with cupcakes! 🧁

What a beautiful day to honor Mary and reflect on her loving “yes” to God. May we continue to follow her example of faith, humility, kindness, and love.

Happy Birthday, Mother Mary! 🌹🙏🏼
