The day began with Principal Mr. Matthew Monson saying prayer and pledge around the flag pole and introducing his special guest for the day, his own “Papa”, Mr. Norman H. Rahn, Jr. to his students. Afterwards students celebrated Mass at Holy Spirit Catholic Church with their Grandparents. Father Patrick Driscoll and Father Phillip McKenna were the celebrants. Montgomery Catholic’s President, Anne Ceasar welcomed and thanked all of the families for supporting Catholic education and for the gift of their grandchildren. The Parent Teacher Council (PTC) hosted a reception, and  invited students and their guests to the gymnasium for a visit, donuts, coffee and juice.  Grandparents had an opportunity to have their picture made with their students by Total Image before they were invited back to the classrooms.  Having generations of families on campus is a longtime tradition at Montgomery Catholic, and will continue to be as Montgomery Catholic celebrates over 140 years of continuous education in Montgomery.
