Our parish school was formally founded on February 24, 1916. In August the Benedictine Sisters of Atchison, Kansas arrived to teach, but the school wasn't done yet. They began classes in the church where students would sit on kneelers and use the pews as desks. October 12, 1916 was the first day of classes in the completed building.
Some of our alumni returned Sunday to celebrate 95 years.
Even the most recent alumni noticed changes.
It was great to gather. We realized we'll need to
start planning for the 100 year celebration in 2016.
