September 8th, Our Lady's Birthday, was the occasion of the Perpetual Profession of Brother Peter, S.M. Pictured at St. Gregory's Convent Chapel where the ceremony was held are Father Hillmann, S.M., Father Emmerth, S.M. and Brother Peter, S.M. Father Blee, S.M. who also assisted at the profession is not shown. Since our chapel is not big enough to hold the entire Student Body we held our Advent Wreath Ceremony in the chemistry shell. Father Emmerth, S.M. here blesses the Advent Wreath. Theresa Risola and Joe Lees represent the Student Body in leading the Advent Wreath prayers. The girls choir sang the hymn for the occasion.
