St. Michael students and faculty gathered around the statue of St. Michael in the front of the school to celebrate its dedication, led by Fr. Steve Williams of St. Lawrence Church. Dr. Matt and Dr. Stephanie Barfield, the statue's benefactors, spoke to the students about why they wanted to do this for our school. At the end of the ceremony, the students recited the "Prayer of St. Michael" together.
Fr. Williams told students, as the ceremony wrapped up, "Thirty or forty years from now, when you come back to St. Michael and see this statue, you'll remember that you were here for its dedication. "
Thank you to the Barfields, Fr. Williams and all of our students for this important moment in the history of our young school.
