Welcome to our first ever VIRTUAL GALA! We are so excited to celebrate the grace that has brought us through our (not-your-average) school year. We have re-envisioned this "event" and thank you for joining us at Embrace Grace 2020 Virtual Gala. While this year may have unfolded in an unexpected and challenging way, the St. Francis school community has come together to make it a successful school year.

This year's Cornerstone Award has been presented to the Dominican Sisters of Hope. These sisters were the original administration and teachers of our school, building the strong academic, and unashamedly Catholic foundation that continues to be built upon today. Father traveled to New York in February, to visit with the remaining sisters who worked at our school, and presented them with the award, as well as St. Francis blankets as tokens of our love and appreciation. Father is pictured here with Sister Janine Parent and Sister Mary Marin Delakanty. Unfortunately, Father was unable to visit with Sister Louise Place as she was ill at the time of his visit.
Thank you, Dominican Sisters of Hope for being a cornerstone of our SFX community!
