Sister Patricia Ralph has seen a lot in her decades as a Sister of St. Joseph teaching and leading Catholic schools in Washington, D.C. On July 22, in the middle of a summer when most teachers try to get their minds off the classroom, she took her assignment as a teacher at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Academy, where she has worked since 1997, to a new level.
A new playground is an exciting milestone for an elementary school, as playgrounds hold a lot of laughter, friendship, and imagination for younger students. On Sept. 6, community members, faculty, and the students at St. Thomas More Catholic Academy in Southeast Washington, D.C., braved the city’s heat wave to join Cardinal Wilton Gregory in a blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new playground there.
