DEANERY MATH COMPETITION
A Deanery Math Competition was held in March at Holy Family Catholic School for seventh and eighth graders. St. Francis, St. Angela Merici, St. Norbert, and Holy Family students participated in this event to showcase their math skills. The competition encompassed a variety of math skills, including math facts, order of operations, a pre algebra and algebra test, and solving unique word problems in a collaborative setting. At least one student from each school earned a medal. Congratulations, students!

SHROUD MUSEUM NEWS

For the museum’s first Mother’s Day, the Shroud Experience at Christ Cathedral gave out flowers to mothers and, thanks to the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima, welcomed a very special guest: the Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. This beautiful statue graced the museum Reflection Room through May 15.
