This morning, our juniors in AP Art History had the privilege of meeting with France White, SHCJ, at Mayfield Junior School to learn about the San Damiano Crucifix she hand-painted for the newly renovated chapel at MJS.

Sr. France shared her inspiration for the crucifix, explaining that she chose to paint a resurrection cross in the style of the medieval crucifix that spoke to young St. Francis of Assisi. She also highlighted new faces she added to incorporate saints important to Cornelia Connelly and also represent the diverse student body of Mayfield Junior School.

We also had the opportunity to enjoy the stained-glass window of Cornelia Connely and MJS children designed by Patty Wickman ‘77.

Thank you to Sr. France and MJS for hosting us and to Julia S. ‘25 for showing us around your alma mater.

This weekend, we celebrated our talented artists and honored our graduating seniors at the Primavera Arts Festival and Music in May concert. From creating in our studios to performing on stage, it has been beautiful to watch them find their voice and fuse their creativity into all aspects of their lives. We can’t wait to see how they will bring their talents to everything they do in the future 🎨

With just 2 weeks until the Class of 2024 graduates, the excitement builds as we honor the past. Today, let’s celebrate the Class of 1984, who will be marking their 40-year reunion this fall. Join us at Homecoming Reunion Weekend 2024 to reminisce, reconnect, and rejoice! Save the date: October 11 & 12. All alums are invited to join the festivities! 🎉

On Friday, we celebrated our seniors’ last day of classes with a heartfelt Senior Farewell Mass. The theme, “Light the Way: Follow the Path of Faith and Love,” perfectly captured the spirit of the day as we sent our seniors off with this special blessing. Adding to the celebration, we were honored to have Sr. France White, SHCJ, with us, marking her Jubilee for 60 years as a Sister of the Holy Child Jesus.

Thank you to our Campus Ministry Council and the Bellefontaine Bakers Club for planning a beautiful mass to celebrate these significant milestones together.
