On Friday, April 21st, approximately one hundred people, including students and faculty from our academies in Jersey City, Montclair, and Caldwell, associates and sisters, gathered to celebrate Earth Day with prayer, student presentations and song.

Associates and sisters gathered on April 15th for a beautiful morning of fellowship and service making rosary beads.
