Recently our entire school enjoyed an afternoon assembly from a Saint Brigid of Kildare School alumnus. The students sang along with "O-H-I-Os" as "Hang On Sloopy" played throughout the gym when OSU National Championship football player and Saint Brigid of Kildare 2008 graduate Craig Fada entered the gym. Craig was joined by his OSU teammate and friend Joshua Perry. Craig and Joshua talked with the students about their experience playing for a National Championship football team, and for Craig -- playing on the St. Brigid of Kildare Middle School and Bishop Watterson High School football teams.

Craig and Joshua's talks both centered around the power of faith in God getting them through any challenges or difficult times. Craig discussed his gratefulness for being raised in a warm Catholic environment and being able to talk openly about his faith at Saint Brigid of Kildare School. Students enjoyed asking them questions about football, faith and their friends.

Saturday, March 7 was the ninth annual Corks for a Cause wine tasting and silent auction benefiting the SPiCE (Special People in Catholic Education) program at St. Brigid of Kildare School and Religious Education. 

The evening included silent auction bidding, a wine grab, a cash raffle giveaway and a new ladies boutique in the Kelty Library. More details on the total amount raised will be announced soon, but we're excited to say it's the most the event has raised yet!
