Whether you were there in the beginning at St. Cecilia’s or when the school was at St. Adalbert’s or at its current location in Benson/Ames neighborhood, you helped to create a sense of community, a feeling of belonging and the hard work we needed at the time to sustain and grow. It would be our absolute pleasure to share this weekend with you.
