Our seniors filled their field dirt memory keepsakes, played catch with their fathers, and we highlighted their careers at St. Patrick and celebrated their future endeavors.

The Seniors and their families also acknowledged the scholarship they received from the Nancy Willemin family, that will propel their future plans and give them a solid foundation to begin their graduate courses.
