Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School (OLS) students recently welcomed some very special visitors. In observance of national “Grandparents Day” held in September, the PTO hosted a memorable school “Grandpals Day” inviting grandparents and special friends of the children.
The event began with a school Mass on September 8, which was also the Catholic feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Mother Mary. The fourth-grade class prepared the Liturgy, while the eighth-grade OLS Peer Helpers assisted their distinctive guests to their seats. OLS Pastor Monsignor Martin Muller celebrated the Mass and gave the congregation some special thoughts about the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren.
Following the Liturgy, the visitors were invited to tour the classrooms and to enjoy a breakfast reception in the school foyer and the library.
