We've all been there: saying a prayer to St. Anthony to help us find something that we've lost. Whether we're searching for an important document, a piece of treasured jewelry, or our car keys, we can always turn to St. Anthony in our time of need.

Today, on the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua, we pray for his intercession in our lives - that we may be more humble and obedient in service to the Lord, like he was.

St. Anthony, Doctor of the Church, pray for us. 🙏

🎶Let it go, let it go!🎶

🎤❄A few weeks ago, the Drama Club at Immaculate Conception School in Fayetteville presented the musical "Frozen", directed by Ms. Bri Givens (Instrumental teacher) and supported by Mrs. Cathy Gorigala (Music teacher) and three other school staff members.

🎵✨Students from 3rd to 6th grade rehearsed for several months after school and the show was held at the CBA Dan Byrne Auditorium on May 2 and 3. There was a post show presented at IC for all the students from Pre-K to 5th Grade, faculty and staff.

👏Great job to all the students and everyone involved in the performances!

👣🚌Immaculate Conception School in Fayetteville's Kindergarten class had their "Fayetteville Walking Tour" last week.

🚒For their first stop, they rode the bus to the Fayetteville Fire Station & EMS and learned about some safety tips and even had the chance to sit in the firetruck and hold the fire hose.

📚Next, the students walked with their teachers and some of the volunteer parents to the Fayetteville Free Library, where they enjoyed learning about what is offered for the summer program, did some educational crafts, and saw the new machines.

🍦After, they rode the bus to Sno Top for some refreshing ice cream!

🚔For their final stop, they walked to the Manlius Police Department for a tour, sat in a police car complete with the siren on, and even went inside the jail cell.

It was a fun-filled day of exploration and learning! 😎
