Established in 1923, the pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade school had an all-school Mass scheduled at 8:15 am on Wednesday, according to its website.
Monday was the first day of school, and social media photos from that day show students in green uniforms greeting each other at bicycle racks, smiling for the camera and sitting together.
