 LIVING STATIONS
On April 3, students from Bishop McHugh Regional School and St. Joseph's Religious Education Program staged "The Living Stations of the Cross" in front of more than 150 parishioners inside the Auditorium. The 45 - minute presentation was a poignant and solemn reminder of Jesus Christ's suffering and death at Calvary. It was narrated by Ali Robinson, Joseph Tripoli and Rev. Joseph Perreault. Appearing in the lead role of Jesus Christ was Steven Kramer. Madison McGinn portrayed Mary, Clancy Larkin played Veronica, Nicole Kramer played Pilate and many other students effectively portrayed Roman Soldiers, the women of Jerusalem, the disciples and angels. It was a very moving experience. |

ST JOSEPH'S DAY CELEBRATION
March 19, St. Joseph's Day, after a special Mass at 5 p.m., approximately 250 people gathered in the auditorium to watch a group of students from Religious Education and Bishop McHugh present a play about the life of St. Joseph. It combined history, humor and music. It was an excellent performance by the students.
After the show, there was a pot luck dinner with homemade ham, turkey, chili, pasta dishes, salads galore and amazing deserts. The food was as good, if not better, that most restaurants in the area. Everyone who attended raved about the night.
Congratulations to the students, the leaders of the religious education ministry, the Catholic Daughters, the Knights of Columbus,all those who contributed the delicious food or volunteered and Father Perreault. It was a fantastic evening.
