I missed the tidbit about her breaking the world record for rowing 62 hours. Doesn't sound humanly possible for one individual. Was this some kind of team thing? Like one boat rowing for 62 hours with people rotating?

From everything I have heard and read about Grace, she was an absolute force of nature. It seems she could do anything she set her mind to. She was Holy Cross through and through as she went to many Crusader sports events to cheer on and support her classmates. Everyone on campus (be it other students or staff) knew her from what I have been told.

What happened to Grace was an unspeakable tragedy, but the Grace Center seems a fitting tribute to an outstanding young woman. I'm quite familiar with Uxbridge and know that this Center is a fabulous addition for Our Lady of the Valley.

Thanks for the Catholic Free Press link with photos. The Bishop must have given himself a mask dispensation. Very pleased for the students who will use this facility. I hope they keep the fundraising up after the last amount is raised to build a small endowment. The pressure on Catholic Schools is immense. Public Schools in MA have had billions poured into them and consistently rank as at or near the best in the country.

Not sure if the bishop needs to give himself a dispensation if there is no regulation in place Catholic schools around here have actually had a COVID bump. Almost all were fully in person learning for the entire 2020-21 school year while public schools had various levels of remote. That difference was enough to make some families choose the Catholic route |

I was throwing shade at the Bishop because most everyone else (but not the other Priest) was showing humbleness and respect for the other attendees and the Bishop is, well, the Bishop. He should be showing respect, too imo. I'm still in the habit of "see you wearing mask, put my mask on" regardless of regulation out of respect for the person next to me who is wearing a mask. Indoors anyways. |

This is not news. This is the same guy who felt that he alone didn't need to wear a mask at Vince Rougeau's inauguration. Glad he's gone from Providence and, if you'd like, you can take Tobin too.
State/city/school, whatever mandates may or may not exist, as Hebrew National used to say he "answers to a higher authority."

There are people that have this philosophy regarding required apparel, mask or credentials. They do not need to comply.

I grew up in Uxbridge but I would think they would have had a center like this at OLV before now. |
