A note from Mrs. Naughton

This has been an exciting week at BGRCS.  Our play will be held on Trusday, Friday and Saturday.  It is a wonderful family event.  The students have worked long and hard on this play.  I urge you to come and see the play.  I know you will enjoy it.

"Bring flowers of the fairest and bring flowers of the rarest"...Please join us next week for our May Procession at Corpus Christi Church.  this is a lovely tradition that is part of our Catholic identity.
