NAZARETH HALLOWEEN PARADE
50 cents
70th Annual Jack Frost Parade Marches through Northampton by KERI LINDENMUTH The Jack Frost Parade, a Northampton tradition since 1948, marched through the borough on Thursday, October 18. The weather was chilly as children sat bundled in blankets and coats, their candy buckets at the ready. The parade was led by the Northampton Fire Department’s new Piece Enforcer Pumper. Lights flashing and sirens blaring, it led a group of fire trucks from in and out of the borough, including fire trucks from Laurys Station, Coplay, and Allen Township. Northampton’s clubs, organizations, businesses, and sports
teams all showed off their spooky floats. Football teams and Scouts threw candy while dance teams opted for backflips down the parade route. Zombies, ghouls, and clowns from Dorney Park and Whitehall’s Haunted Parkway had some young parade goers hiding behind their parents, while a much friendlier Cinderella and Princess Belle danced, sang, and waved to their fans. The sounds of snare drums, trumpets, and tubas wafted through the borough and brought energy to some chilly parade goers. The Northampton Area High School Big N Band, as well as

Today, I am writing a column for our friends in Allen Township. As you know, the township is home to Catasauqua High School. The township dates back to 1720 with the Scotch-Irish Settlement, the first settlement in Northampton County. The leader was James Craig, so it was called the “Craig Settlement.” Tradition has it that when the first settlers arrived a Native American provided them with some cool spring water. This led to the discovery of a fine spring, the finding of which led them to
select a location for their future homes. Later the village was named Weaversville. A number of years ago “Woody” Kleppinger, former owner of the Weaversville Hotel, restored the stone building where the spring was found, however the spring no longer flows. The Weaversville Inn today continues to serve area residents in a structure that dates back to the American Revolution. During the French and Indian Wars, Benjamin Franklin and daughter Sally stayed there. He was inspecting the system of forts in the area and organizing a

primitive early postal service. Few of the original, if any, of their descendants remain. Names from the past who made their home there were the Craig family, Thomas Armstrong, James King, John McNair, Robert Gregg, Robert Walker, James Ralston, John Hays, Arthur Lattimore and James Horner. All were staunch Presbyterians and soon after their arrival erected a small log church. The church is gone but their second church still remains as a house of worship, God’s Missionary Church.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Nobody knows Anything about The thyroid The title says it all. We just have no idea what’s going on with the thyroid. I can hear it now; “Speak for yourself Dr. Clearie,” and maybe they would be right. Yet please let me simply talk for a moment to tell you what I am seeing and then you can decide for yourself if I make any sense. To the point, ‘something’ is wrong. I cannot quite put my thumb on it yet it truly appears that the health of people is in a state of decline. Yes, I understand that is a large net to throw but this is what I see with my eyes and believe in my heart. People are sicker than ever and thyroid disease is front and center. You already know this but allow me to say that each and every system in the body essentially “cross talks” with each other. It’s the way we were designed. Simply speaking, what happens in one area, organ, gland, or tissue is not kept secret from the rest of the body. Nor should it. The good news is if your thyroid is screwed up, the rest of the physiological you knows all about it and is trying to deal with it on a continual basis. The systems deal with the problem as long as able (let’s call it a “silent problem”) until it cannot anymore and then more and more symptoms present themselves. The problem is not a medication shortage. Levothyroxine, the medication used in mass quantities today, was first brought to market in the 1920s and we are still using the same stuff today. Virtually nothing has improved in this area. The question we should be asking is, what is truly at the root of all this thyroid dysfunction? We have no idea why the thyroids are messed up. Not one clue. Does anybody even care? The vast majority of thyroid problems lead to hypothyroidism. In the world, iodine is the
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
Helping for 20 years leading cause of hypothyroidism. In the United States it is not iodine insufficiency but rather autoimmune hypothyroidism. I have heard that some 80 percent of all thyroid cases are from an auto immune attack on the thyroid gland. If you have hypothyroidism, you more than likely have an auto-immune disease. Now listen closely to what I am about to tell you about thyroid disease. This is very important. Here it goes; no medical treatment or management is available or conducted for the auto immune problems of the thyroid. Not one. The focus of care rendered is for symptom suppression. All the while, your thyroid follicular cells are being destroyed day by day, year after year and the best we have is to make the stuff that isn’t being made anymore, Levothyroxine (T4). Candidly, this is what upsets me the most. Auto immune hypothyroid actually doesn’t just stay hypo. Because of the destruction and war being raged you will bounce from hypo to a hyper thyroid event more than likely. Think about it like this, your thyroid is under attack, cells are being inflamed and at some point an eruption of sorts occurs that spills hormones and genetic debris into your body/ blood. The body goes from a hypo state to a hyper state. Not good at all. If you have been diagnosed with Graves’ disease you need to take a look at the real possibility that you do not have Graves but have a condition called HashiContinued on page 7

Hahn backs bill to expand Spinal cord research Submitted by SCOTT LITTLE Legislation that would increase funding for spinal cord injury research is headed to Gov. Tom Wolf ’s desk, according to Rep. Marcia Hahn (R-Bushkill Township), following today’s passage of Senate Bill 31 by the House. “Every year, more than 12,000 individuals incur spinal cord injuries, mostly because of traffic accidents,” Hahn said. “While this injury is currently considered permanent and irreversible, researchers are not giving up and are focusing on ways to regenerate or reconnect nerve pathways. Advances are being made and Pennsylvania has a chance to play a role in that progress.” Hahn authored legislation (House Bill 385) that mirrors Senate Bill 31, which would establish the Spinal Cord Injury Research Program and create a research grant funded by a portion

Selflessness Sunday (From the family and friends of Ralph)

the weather. The soggy summer of 2018 continued right up until the day before the event. Then we watched as the rain clouds left and the skies parted to shed some sun on a fabulous day and the generous outpouring of help and unconditional kindness provided by friends, family, and community alike. We had the most amazing response for a huge favor we asked of our friends, our community, our family, to stand strong and support our brother Ralph Lidestri in his fight with cancer. I would like to extend our warmest and most sincere thank you to all involved, the list is long, and if I were to list each and every one of you, I fear I would not have enough space in this paper. To all that have helped, please know you are so deeply appreciated. I cannot go without saying, a major contributor to the day’s events must include the Bath Social Hall for helping us fulfill the day’s events, providing not only the facility to utilize, but also the help to prepare, plan and host such a massive endeavor. This
could not have been successful without the help of the Bath Social Hall Board Members as well as the staff included. Thank you Bath Firehouse Social Hall from the bottom of our hearts. To all that attended, thank you for making this a special day for Ralph. (Never give in.) I wanted to share the thoughts of someone who came to spend this special day in support of Ralph. Cynthia Deluca, I could not have said it any better, please read on: On any given day we are exposed to the news of the day. Sometimes the story is heartbreaking, and sometimes the news is good. Sometimes it is about selfishness, and sometimes it is about selflessness. Today my story is about selflessness and the multitude of people who came together to help a family member and friend in his time of need. First, I need to get something off my chest. So bear with me while I vent about a word that has invaded the lives of many a loved one. Cancer, the big “C,” the sometimes unspeakable word, the word that changes the dynamics of a family, and the word that sometimes hastens the death of someone we dearly love. Cancer is an ugly word. It often hides while doing its dirty work, bringing pain, treatment, changes, stress, and a feeling of uncertainty. Sometimes the treatments and medicine can be quite expensive. Couple that with the out of pocket expense and whamo, those enduring this situation might need some help. At noon today (Sunday, Oct. 14, 2018), my husband and I attended a fundraiser to help raise money for a loving gentleman. This sweet, caring man is the cousin of my girlfriend and her family. From the time we arrived, I was impressed with the number of family and friends who made food, supplied desserts, donated well over one hundred plus beautifully filled baskets, along with unique baskets, the mountains of gift cards, the drinks, band, and comics. Not to mention the many bikers who rode 44 miles dressed for cooler temperatures, for a man they cared about. Over two hundred selfless people bought a ticket to attend, tickets for raffle baskets, and the fifty-fifty. There was hugging, talking, laughing, taking pictures, and a good feeling that comes from helping. Everyone came together to help someone in need, someone who had made a lasting impression on everyone he met, someone who was a little overwhelmed by the outpouring of love. Someone named Ralph.

To all those facing cancers of all kinds, stay strong, be brave and courageous and fight like there is no tomorrow. You are important and loved. You are someone’s blessing. -Cynthia Deluca Ralph we love you, stay strong, and never give in.
Businesses of A bygone Era by HANNA O’REILLY Larry Oberly, Northampton Area Historical Society vice-president, presented to Northampton natives some of the major businesses in the area and the history behind them. On October 20 at 10 a.m., photographs of buildings were displayed in front of a room of individuals at the Northampton Borough Hall on Laubach Ave. At this event, Businesses of a Bygone Era, Oberly distributed packets of papers to participants with the names of various Northampton businesses and their previous names throughout the years. Oberly welcomed all spectators to join in on the conversation about “the good ole days,” making storytelling even more entertaining for everyone. Men and women of Northampton shared stories about graduating from Northampton Area HighSchool, grabbing the best steak sandwiches at Dalpezzo’s Steakhouse on 21st Street, and their first high-school jobs at the Roxy Movie Theater on Main Street. Good Shepard Physical Therapy at 44 W. 21st Street was previously known for being St. Luke's Northern Valley Primary Care, John S. Nemeth Real Estate, Dalpezzo's Steakhouse, Geno's Steakhouse, and Raider's Lunch. The present day Taylor Roasted Coffee House at 1924 Main Street was previously remembered as Dr. M. D. Pugh, Dr. N.A.. Zevin, Dr. George Angelo, Jr., Optometrists. Drug City at 1816 Main Street was previously Lerner's Department Store. These businesses were just some of the many included in the first program of businesses presented. The second program is expected to draw just as many participants, opening the floor to even more stories. The Northampton Area Historical Society works to preserve the history of the Northampton Borough. It is with the hard work and research of Larry Oberly, Terry Reppert, and many other individuals that presentations like this occur. Citizens of Northampton are always invited to share what they know about businesses in the area, helping continue the legacies of these great places.
GWHS Annual Christmas House Tour and Family Day 1890s Victorian
Submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN The Governor Wolf Historical Society will open six private historic homes and four early buildings for the 38th Annual Christmas House Tour on Saturday, December 1. The homes will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. This year’s theme is “Keep a Candle in the Window,” a German custom that welcomed travelers. The Home News will feature one of the homes each week until tour day. This 1890 Victorian home is in the heart of Nazareth. The living room, dining room and music room have decorative oak floors, pocket doors, French doors and a window seat. The kitchen has been updated with tile counter tops, an island, and a large window with shelf above. On display will be a tintype photo of the house as it looked in the early 1900s. The second floor is now a den, two bedrooms, office, laundry, bath and balcony. The refinished attic is a quiet visitor’s suite with heart pine floors, bath and ‘tower’ with window seat. On the same day, the Annual Historic Christmas Family Day will fill the campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum hosts an exhibit of early lighting with expert Wayne Lauciusto. Historic craftsmen will demonstrate, the 153 Civil War Coddington Reenactors will be encamped. Taste and watch hearth cooking, spinning and weaving, iron crafts, early powder horns and flintlocks, and more, such as pony rides, and arts
and crafts for children. Make this a yearly family destination. No parking or admission fee. A freewill donation may be dropped into our “Preservation Jars,” if you wish. The Daily Grind in the Schoolhouse Café will offer food to take with you on the tour, or to enjoy there. There will also be quality crafters selling their wares and fresh greens for sale. In addition to selling fresh wreaths and swags this year, the historical society will be holding a Fresh Wreath Making Class- Monday, November 26, from 9 a.m. to noon. Complete a large fresh wreath with a bow of your choice for $25. Sign up by calling 610837-7078 and leaving a message, or while visiting the campus. Ticket books are available- $25 advance and $30 day of tour. Booklets will be sold at S Seem Antiques in Bath, Miller Ace Hardware on RT 329, Curt’s Cyclery in Nazareth, Bath Drug on RT 512 and Snow Goose Gallery at 470 Main St., Bethlehem.
house development. One location of industrial zoned land is located off Route 512. The other is located in Morristown at Routes 512 and 946. A warehouse ordinance exists, but the Moore Township Planning Commission is working towards setting more specific standards for these industrial areas. Chairman, John Becker, mentioned the location of berms-an artificial ridge used to protect buildings- on the properties. He feels that in making the decision of where to place a berm, it should be considered how it would affect the warehouse altogether. “Wouldn’t you want those buildings exposed to the road?” Becker questioned. Becker went on to mention that hiding the building from the road would make it difficult to recognize any issues that could be occurring with the building or within that area in general. With a berm blocking a warehouse’s view from the street, it becomes difficult to monitor the warehouse’s status. Aside from the berm blocking the street, Becker explained that he completely understands why a berm would be used to block warehouses from residential areas. Planning commission member, Richard Gable, explained that having a buffer in front of the building would cut down on truck noise. However, he does not have a preference about the berm either way. Discussion of the ordinance continued with the topic of trucker staging spaces. Member Bruce Talipan mentioned the fact that truckers have very limited places to pull over after spending hours on the road. Becker suggested that warehouses provide designated parking spaces for drivers to take a break. Fortunately, the ordinance does include information regarding how many spaces should be provided for drivers pulling off to sit. The Moore Township Planning Commission plans to continue the discussion of the warehouse ordinance in order to add more specific standards for the industrially zoned areas.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Congrats to members of Bath Council for getting lots of things done and making our borough beautiful. It’s great to see that W. Northampton Street was repaved. And Washington Street is next, I hear, after some handicapped sidewalks are in. PennDOT had Rt. 248 paved on the sides, either to cover potholes or prevent them. Anyhow, it’s a lot better . . . I hear the Bath Museum is getting ready for its new displays and a re-opening in their new quarters of the borough building. It’s gonna have a display about the Home News history. Just looking around town I can feel the new energy. Keep it up. I love it! . . . .Also heard that a group called Neighborhood
Watch is gonna meet on November 13. If they can prevent drug activity, that will be good for everyone’s sake. Drugs and something called opioids are a national disgrace, especially drugs, and we can all do our part to stop it. How about joining them. Let’s ride this positive wave. . . .The weather was beautiful last Thursday, cool and a bit windy, but no rain for Northampton’s parade. You know the Exchange club was happy about that. I’m writing this on Monday, a day ahead of Bath’s Halloween parade run by the Bath Firefighters. I hope the weather is just as nice. . . . Looks like another development of some kind will be built alongside Rt. 329 west of Jacksonville as the land is being cleared. Residences and a business are gone. I may be wrong, but I believe the Raymond Ott and Cliff Wuchter families lived there once. Another building by a fencing business used to be Ott’s equipment

building. No doubt it will be more warehouses. . . My sympathies to Harvey Haupt and the rest of the family at the passing of Harvey’s wife, Dorothy. Condolences, too, to the Bruce Applegate family over in Nazareth at his passing. He was very involved and will be missed. . . .Dodgers and Red Sox won the playoffs and now they’re in the World Series. I got half of my original prediction right, the Dodgers, but didn’t figure the Bosox beating those Yankees. Now all I can say is “May the best team win!” For Margie’s sake, Boston. I’m a National League fan most of the time, but not those guys from L.A. , especially Manny Machado. . . . Jacobsburg Historical Society will have a fair this weekend. I know them mostly for the Henry longrifles. Bob Hujsa would be interested in that. . . .This Saturday is the last day of Nazareth’s farmers market for the season. . . . Halloween is coming up next week, along with trick or treat. I hope you all have a great time. I see they’re gonna dress up with costumes on Saturday night up at Emmanuel Church. And there’s lots of Halloween decorations on homes. . . . Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, Nov. 4, when we go back on Standard Time. That’s when it gets dark really early at night. I dread it. What about you? Have a good week, and take care.

Moore Township Leaf Collection Program
The Moore Township leaf collection program will begin on or about the week of November 5 and will continue for the next eight weeks (depending on conditions). Actual collection will commence when a sufficient amount of leaves have fallen to warrant dispatching the collection equipment. With the continuing increase in volume of leaves it has become impossible to guarantee a specific pick-up day for any one location. There will be multiple trips through neighborhoods for the duration of the collection program; therefore, if the leaves are not in place when the crew goes by, they will be picked up on the next rotation. This schedule is subject to inclement weather, mechanical breakdowns, and township emergencies making it necessary to temporarily delay pick-up. THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED 1. Leaves cannot be collected on private roads. 2. LEAVES ONLY shall be raked to the edge of the roadway. 3. Leaf piles shall be kept off roadways. 4. Leaf piles must be free of sticks and other foreign matters. THE PUBLIC WORKS CREW MAY REFUSE TO PICK UP ANY LEAF PILE IF INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL IS FOUND WITHIN THE PILE OR IF THE ABOVE RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED. Moore Township residents are welcome to bring leaves and brush to the Brush and Leaf Recycling Area, located to the east side of the Public Works Building during daylight hours, seven days a week.

motos thyroiditis, AKA auto immune, hypo to hyper presentations. (A deeper talk for another time.) So what I am trying to say with all of this is that; A) Thyroids everywhere are completely messed up. B) We really have no idea why. C) We haven’t come up with a truly different approach for about 100 years. People are messed up. Something has to be done. I am doing my best in this neck of the woods yet it’s a debacle that is getting no heed. I wish we knew the exact cause yet I don’t think one size fits all. For some maybe it truly is metal poisoning, for another exposure to chemicals, maybe a parasite from sushi, consider a hit in the throat in grade school, or truly a deficiency in some mineral or nutrient that we just do not have the ability to see just yet. Could it be the case that the immune system isn’t mad and attacking your thyroid for no good reason and that the body has identified a malicious bacteria or virus that it’s trying to get to? So many questions. So much suffering. So little concrete answers. I will keep looking. My best to you. "Natural Perspectives" is a health commentary only and

NORTHAMPTON AREA Adam Schisler collaborates on Flying Dutchmen Ale Submitted by ALI WENGER Adam Schisler, from Northampton, is one of 32 Lebanon Valley College science and business students who collaborated in the production and marketing of the 2018 Flying Dutchmen Ale. The science students worked with Snitz Creek Brewery to create a recipe and brew the traditional ale that was revealed and served at Homecoming 2018. Business students then sold the ale to area businesses as a seasonal offering. Schisler, a graduate of Northampton Area High School, is working toward a bachelor of science in business

administration at LVC. The task of bringing the Dutchman to life as an ale started in 2014, though due to time constraints, that team of LVC students brewed an ale based on an existing recipe then applied the Flying Dutchmen Ale label. In 2015, the team made a more concerted effort, with Snitz Creek recruiting chemistry, biology, and biochemistry and molecular biology majors to not only assist with the brewing process, but also devise a new recipe. Students were responsible for choosing, among other things, the malt and the hops for the beer. License # PA003267

By KERI LINDENMUTH
Northampton Fire Chief Keith Knoblach and the fire department’s assistant chiefs presented their capital improvement plan before the Northampton Borough Council on Wednesday, October 17. This plan proposes a one mil fire tax that would generate an extra $200,000 for the fire department. This money could help replace fire apparatuses, maintain the fire department headquarters, and help the fire department keep up with changing technology. Having just purchased a new Pierce pumper this year, and with several fire apparatuses in need of replacement within the coming decade or so, Chief Knoblach said the fire tax will help the fire department keep up. Apparatus costs, he said, increase “roughly 6 percent each year” and fire engines are required to be replaced every 20 years. “There is no such thing as a 30year fire truck anymore,” he said. “Planned obsolescence” means fire trucks are only being built to last 20 years. When the next apparatus must be replaced in 2024, the Borough will only be finished with seven of 15 years’ worth of payments on the new Pierce pumper. Chief Knoblach calls this a “vicious cycle.” In addition to replacing old vehicles, the fire department is also looking at its future needs, which include a UTV for fire and rescue operations on the area’s many rail

trails, a second command vehicle, and a utility truck for public assistance situations. In addition to the fire apparatuses, the fire department headquarters could also benefit from upgrades, including improved security, new energy-efficient windows and doors, sleeping quarters for firefighters, and a room for fire gear, which is currently being exposed to cancer-causing carcinogens, the leading cause of death for firefighters. Chief Knoblach proposed an oversight committee that would verify the financial feasibility of the projects and act as a system of

checks and balances. The committee would be composed of three Borough representatives, the fire chief, deputy fire chief, assistant fire chief, and member-at-large from an organization such as a bank or emergency squad. Chief Knoblach hopes that such a plan would give the borough and its residents peace of mind. “[They can] rest assured that a truck and equipment is ready to go,” he said. While he said he knows the concept of a fire tax is an “unpopular topic,” he added that fundraising has not been very successful, with only a 15 percent return. “With over 400 fire calls, [there is] only so much fundraising that can be done,” he said. “This plan is going to improve the long-term health of the fire department.”

NAZARETH AREA 50k Powerball ticket sold in Nazareth by HOME NEWS STAFF A Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball ticket worth $50,000 was sold at A3 Mart located at 7 S. Broad St. in Nazareth. The ticket, one of seven others drawn, matched four of the five white balls drawn
and the red Powerball. More than 195,000 other Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball tickets won prizes of various amounts in the drawing, including more than 39,000 tickets purchased with Power Play that won prizes multiplied by two.
Players should check every ticket, every time. Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. The holder of the winning ticket should sign the back of the ticket and contact
the nearest Lottery office. This is the first time this year the Powerball jackpot has crossed the $600 million mark. Powerball has had
20 drawings in a row without a jackpot winner. The jackpot was last hit in New York in the August 11 drawing.

At 1 p.m., organizations from across the Lehigh Valley prepared to march from Belvidere and Liberty streets, circle down E. Center Street and end at Nazareth High School. Children and families were excited to watch the decorated trucks, listen to the various school bands, and see the great
Halloween costumes from participants. Upper Nazareth Clippers, The Northeast Middle School Marching Band, Little Buddies Childcare, and more participated in this great community event. Spectators from all over enjoyed the sights and sounds of Saturday afternoon. Children enjoyed candy provided by the various participants while families and friends enjoyed the tradition of the Nazareth Halloween Parade. We are already looking forward to next year.

A Good Sinner?
Evangelist Eddie Martin told of a lady who came forward in response to a salvation invitation. He took her hand and began to lead her in a sinner’s prayer asking her to repeat after him, “Dear Lord, I know I’m a no-good sinner...” She never said a word. He looked at her and said, “Don’t you want to be saved?” She said, “Yes, but I’m not a sinner.” “Then you can’t be saved,” Eddie said, “Jesus only died for sinners.” “But, Mr. Martin,” she replied, “I’m a good sinner.” “A good sinner? Lady, there are no good sinners! You will have to take your seat. God can’t save you until you become conscious that you are a no-good sinner and need His forgiveness.” “But you don’t understand,” she said, “I’m really not a bad sinner.” Evangelist Martin relates, “I told her to go sit down. She held onto my hand with a vise-like grip. Finally she said, ‘Oh, please forgive me. I know I am a no-good, hell-deserving sinner. I am a proud, no-good sinner. I do need Christ to forgive me of my sins.’ I said, ‘Now, lady, you are ready to do business with God.’ We prayed--she came clean with God and He saved her!” The Bible declares, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (1John 1:8). Let us cry out to God as did the prophet Isaiah, “Woe is me! for I am undone” (Isaiah 6:5) and admit, “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). If we have the attitude of the prodigal son, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son” (Luke 15:21), and pray with David, “O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great” (Psalm 25:11), God will hear us as He did the publican who prayed, “God be merciful to me a sinner” (Luke 18:13). The Bible states, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1John 1:9). See “A SINNER’S PRAYER” at www.naog.ws/message.htm

World Mission Sunday is an event of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States. Students in Kindergarten and first-grade wore red in honor of Africa. Second- and thirdgraders wore yellow for Asia; fourth- and fifth-graders wore white for Europe; sixth- and seventh-graders wore green for North America, and the eighthgraders wore blue for the Pacific Islands. In addition to dressing in a specific color, the students learned about the Missions and life in each continent during their religion classes. At the end of the day, the whole school came together in the gymnasium to form a huge Mission Rosary. Students held up signs representing their region, while other students formed the cross at the beginning of the rosary. The project was organized by eighth-graders Clare Duffy and Sophia Ronca, who are also student mission representatives for Holy Family School. Their advisor is fourth-grade teacher Mrs. MaryAnne Cummings.
