Earth Day was celebrated at St. Patrick's School by Mrs.Glatman’s speech class by planting a dogwood tree. The students purchased the tree through money they raised by collecting bottles and cans, and parent donations.
This past winter the fourth grade “chilled out” in the arctic. They graphed the high temperatures for two weeks in February and compared them with the high temperature from 5 and 10 years prior. They found that we were actually colder in 2008! In conjunction with computer classes, the students researched an arctic animal in order to see what physical and behavioral adaptations they had to help them live in the arctic climate. They also researched how global warming is affecting the animals of the arctic. The research culminated with this wonderful mural depicting many of the animals they enjoyed researching.

From Parishoner John McGowan
April 20th 2008 is a day I will long remember and cherish. Being at Yankee Stadium and watching and listening to Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI was a moving and loving experience. I was able to clearly see him as he celebrated the Mass and watched him as he read his homily seated in his raised chair. After his Apostolic Blessing, I watched him as he entered the dugout directly below where I was seated. I waited as the Popemobile waited for him and then saw him emerge and step up directly into the back of the vehicle. As the vehicle passed directly below me, he continued to wave to everyone. I thank God that I had the opportunity to be there.
Several more young people from Level 2 of our Religious Formation program received their First Holy Communion last weekend. Congratuations to our First Communicants and their families.
