May Radiant Roundup

Can you believe that is is already May!?! So many things to celebrate during this time of year- I know I have been busy with Confirmations and First Communions, and my 8th graders are wrapping up their school year and looking toward graduation. May will fly by, but there are so many things to savor, including the continuation of the Easter Season, the month of Our Lady, and the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker just to name a few! Click below on any of the links to help you learn and pray this month.
