Every year, St. Columbkille Catholic School honors it's principal. Since this is the 100th year of our school, today was extra special as we had some former principals with us, as Sr. Delores Dolezal visiting to represent the Benedictine Sisters who supplied out first eleven principals.
During Mass we had a candle lit for each of the principals who have passed away.. We also included Mrs. Dorothy Cubrich in our prayers as her health prevented her from attending. She was our rpincipal from 1993 to 1996.
In addition to Principal Makey and Assistant Princial Redburn, who currently serve the school, we welcomed our other visitors. We had Mr. Bob Voboril (1980-1990), Mrs. Sue Martin (1991-1993), Mrs. Christine Overkamp (1996-2010) and Mrs. Mary McGuire (2013).
The students thanked the teachers for setting the standards for education.
We also had a student speaker.
Sr. Delores presented Mr. Makey a gift from the Benedictine Sisters.
This is a picture of our first principal, Sr. Celestine who was outr principal from 1916 until 1931.
Afterwards there was a reception
for our honored guests.
They also received a tour of the school -- though they seemed to most enjoy reminiscing about the school and visitingteachers form their time at the school.
We were honored that they were willing to come back and visit. We look forward to telling more about some things we learned from them about the school's past. We'll be sharing that sometime in the future.
