' A1 . l . . Efjlllllll-Illl'llillt-lllflllfllll What was the so special about the first Friday of October? It marked the simultaneous celebration of the Sacred Heart Enthronement and Pro-Life Day. Both of these events held great significance in our com- munity.

Senior Na- omi Gabriel was elected to crown the statue of Jesus. Bishop Rosazza joined Father John in the celebra- tion of the Mass. Both the liturgy and music reflected the spirit of the day. Members of the Pro-Life Club wrote petitions and read a prayer in honor of the unborn. Two roses were presented with the offertory gifts as symbols of life. At the conclusion of the liturgy. students had the opportunity to speak with Bishop Rosazza. A get- together was held in the cafe to celebrate the occasion.
