Last night, Holy Name held its Ring Ceremony for the Class of 2014. Mass was said by Father Flynn, and, within the context of this liturgy, he blessed their class rings and other jewelry or special items. It was a very special and enjoyable ceremony. We need to thank Father Flynn; the class moderators, Mrs. Kohn and Mrs. Ivas; Mr. Grieger, who arranged the Mass; Mr. Thompson and Drew Stairs for their music ministry; and Alec Seymour for working sound and lights.
The sophomores were extremely well behaved and appropriate, and their ability to meet a high level of expectation speaks well for their role as school leaders as they transition to upperclassmen. I would like to also thank all the parents and other family members for coming out to celebrate with us as well as the freshman class and their advisors, Mrs. Yakstis and Mr. Marcotte, for providing refreshments after the event.
This ceremony kicks off all the spring celebrations and dances surrounding the end of the school year. It has been a wonderful year at Holy Name, and we look forward to this exciting season as our students progress forward in their studies and in their journey as much needed Christian witnesses in our world.
