March 19th is the day we celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph. We honor St. Joseph as the man who led by example, taking care of Mary and Jesus. Through his inspiration, the Sisters of St. Joseph order was founded. We remember and pay tribute to the Sisters of St. Joseph, who have touched our school on this Feast Day. We are blessed at St. Cecilia’s, to have Sr. Alicia Perna SSJ as our principal. We celebrate and thank her for her commitment to our school and her religious community.
Mrs. Rach and the sixth grade class led our prayer service honoring St. Joseph. During the service, Sister Alicia renewed her vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience as a Sister of St Joseph. Once the prayer service was finished, Kindergarten through third grades completed coloring sheets of St. Joseph while fourth through eighth grades wrote thank you cards to the Sisters of St. Joseph at Chestnut Hill.
We thank all the Sisters of St. Joseph for their dedication to serve God in our communities.
