Grandparents Galore

May Day was filled with special blessings for Visitation. The morning was given over to a wonderful liturgical celebration, attended by the entire school and hundreds of grandparents and special friends.

I had the opportunity at this gathering to welcome and extend our collective gratitude to all present. We are so appreciative for all of the love and support that so many have demonstrated toward Visitation over time. And as I said in my welcome, each person present has her/his own special and profound connection to this place. Nurturing that connection remains our goal.

So many have helped and supported Visitation over time – helping us sustain our mission and secure our school’s future. At Visitation, we challenge ourselves every day to do just a little bit better. We do so because we are stewards of a place that exists because of so many people who have so generously given so much to our school, and who are the very bedrock of the traditions that sustain us.

During this liturgy, we also asked for special blessings upon our precious seniors and spirited sixth grade boys, who will be embarking upon learning adventures beyond Visitation next year. We have certainly been blessed by their presence.

After Mass, our special friends visited classes, dined, and simply took in the Visitation of today. What a wonderful May Day.
