Second Graders Experience a Faith-Filled Day at the Shrine

Our second graders had a truly beautiful experience attending the Bishop’s Mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help. Together with other Catholic schools from the Diocese of Green Bay, they gathered in prayer and celebration of our shared faith.

During the Mass, students reflected on what it means to live like saints—showing kindness, love, and faith in their everyday lives. As a heartfelt gesture, they presented a special spiritual bouquet to Bishop Ricken, filled with prayers and intentions from our St. Bernard community.

After Mass, the students enjoyed a peaceful rosary walk through the serene Shrine grounds. Surrounded by the beauty of creation, they had the opportunity to pray quietly and reflect on the importance of growing closer to God.

We are so grateful to Bishop Ricken and the Shrine staff for welcoming our students and creating such a meaningful day of faith, prayer, and connection.
