Teaching bright and energetic third graders would gladden the heart of any teacher. The challenge? I was appointed principal. Life was never quite the same! However, ‘as Providence would have it,’ an excellent faculty and supportive families with strong

family values were my salvation.” BROTHER CHARLES MCBRIDE, CSC -Sister Adele Beacham (formerly Sister The Brothers of Holy Cross at Notre Dame and Holy Joseph Therese) Cross Village hosted the Annual Moreau Celebration for priests and brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross and Sisters of the Holy Cross from Saint Mary’s on Sunday, Jan. 23.
