Returning Thanks Breakfast

More than 450 people from the Hampton Roads community attended this Saint Patrick event designed to "return thanks" for the gift of Saint Patrick Catholic School.

For many attendees it was an opportunity for renewing old acquaintences, as well as meeting the parents and grandparents of students of Saint Patrick.

During the light breakfast more conversations began as those in attendance learned the story of Saint Patrick Catholic School and how they can extend their support and furthering the mission of the total formation of children at the school.

Each table consisted of a captain who was asked to invite members of the community to support Saint Patrick Catholic School.

Led by Music Director, Christopher Kypros, students in Grades 1st through 4th gave the audience a beautiful serenade of songs compiled from pieces performed previously in school concerts.

Proud parent of her three Irish Wolfhound sons, Mrs. Suhay points to the smile that her children wear daily given to them by attending this school.

Nicholas' grandpa was another happy attendee who was pleased and impressed by the showing of the students.

Mr. Hammond gave an inspired keynote address that outlined the school's mission and vision for the future of its students.
