Owensboro Catholic 6th Grade Students Visit the Mount May 11, 2016

6th grade students from the Owensboro Catholic 4-6 campus visited the Mount on May 11. The students, accompanied by their teachers and parents, explored Mount Saint Joseph and participated in a rosary walk led by Sister Cecilia Joseph Olinger, trust walk, and statue hunt activities. A visit to the Motherhouse chapel was also part of the students’ visit.

Below are some pictures of the day.
