Tuesday, October 12, 2021, 6:30-8:30pm @St. Teresa School Cafeteria
Connect with fellow school families and learn more about the Catholic Liberal Education Model!
Grand Group: We have adjusted our schedule a little! Because Fr. Wylie will be transferred from the Cathedral in early 2022, John Huseman was gracious about switching his presentation to February to enable Father to speak to us while still here in Lincoln.
On Friday, October 15th at 1pm, we will gather at the KC Hall to hear Fr. Wylie tell of his life in South Africa and what led him to leave his home there and come to the US and, in particular, to our diocese. Please join us for this very special event. RSVP to Phyllis (402-488-9177) by Tue Oct 12th.
