This morning I attended the sesquicentennial opening liturgy at St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute on Kenmore Ave. in Kenmore. St. Joe's celebrates their 150th year this year. It was a lovely outdoor Mass (it was a bit cold out, but at least it wasn't raining!) with Bishop Kmiec.
All the boys in the school,along with the chorus, alumni, teachers, and parents were in attendance. Near the endof the Mass, Bishop Kmiec blessed the sesquicentennial historic marker, which will be placed on the grounds of the school.
The celebration continues tonight with a tent party at 6:30, which kicks off the gift gathering for St. Joe's annual auction in February. Tickets are $15 at the door, plus a auction gift donation. (party for people 21 and older)You'll get a Chiavetta's BBQ dinner, beer, wine and soft drinks ,and music by the St. Joe's Jazz Lab Band.
