Sunday morning everyone was up early and the caravan of cars started out to attend Mass at Belmead. The  Mass was a
very moving experience. The mass was presided over by two African Priest from the Richmond VA. archdiocese. I believe Bill
Shearin printed their names in the beginning of his picture slide show of the mass. Of course Danny Coakley sang.
Immediately following the mass was a very spiritual memorial ceremony for all of the deceased alumni, nuns, and priest.
Flowers were put in a vase by an alumnus representing each decade beginning with the 20's, on up to the present.

After eating brunch, quite a few of the cars drove down to where the agriculture building once stood, which is now a Memorial
Circle Garden, constructed by Mr. Allan Brooks, formerly Brother Bernard Brooks, CSSp. We formed a circle said prayers, and
Father Peter blessed the garden and those that  attended.
