1972 MSJ Academy graduates spread some Christmas cheer

Six members of the 1972 graduating class of Mount Saint Joseph Academy dropped by Saint Joseph Villa on Dec. 1, 2025, to pass out treats to the Sisters and spread some Christmas cheer by singing carols in the hallway. Carm Leonard, Mary Ann Willett, Dorothy Riggs, Rita Tanner, and Mary Ann Carr were joined by Santa Claus. Curiously, classmate Sarah Kranz and Santa were never spotted at the same time. The Sisters in the Villa certainly enjoyed the visit.
