The weekend is over and children head back to school today. Our Lady of Grace School is a private, Catholic School, located on Chapman Street, just behind the church. Founded in 1953, OLG (as it is known locally) serves 370 children in grades K-8.
We offer this photo for Monochrome Weekly. Emerging from the darkness of the tree trunk, the statue to the trio of people was just glowing in the sunshine this weekend. If you notice our other posts, we're really pretty obsessed with brilliant COLORS; however, sometimes you find something that was just meant for black and white!
Well observed.

The mother a bit reluctantly sending/letting the boy go off to learn . . . so fitting for a school doorway.
Is that the "Holy Family"? It is unusual (for me, at least) to see Joseph in such a "touching" pose.
Who teaches at Catholic schools these days? Are there still nuns who teach?

I called OLG and YES, this is the Holy Family. Also, this is a spot where many teachers take their classes for group photos, especially when the azaleas are in bloom! The rewards of having this blog are learning so much and talking to so many people. Thanks for asking questions. It shows that people are INTERESTED!

Thanks for investigating.
Sure your readers are interested. I, especially, having been away from America for so long, have a lot to learn about life there.

The ethereal glow of the three makes this shot. Well done indeed.
