Sister Marianne Poole recently celebrated 60 years a Sister of the Blessed Sacrament, the religious order founded by St. Katharine Drexel to educate African American and indigenous children in the United States. The order founded and taught at several schools in Nashville, including the former St. Vincent de Paul School in North Nashville. Sister Marianne works at Smithson Craighead Academy, a charter school in Nashville, as a teacher's aide.

St. Henry School has added the Hand in Hand Options Program for students with intellectual and developmental delays this school year. St. Henry is the fourth school in the diocese to offer the program, joining Pope John Paul II Preparatory School, St. Ann School and St. Matthew School. Second grade teacher Stephanie Braeuner and classmates Benjamin Lalonde and Brynne Keller help Imani Payne with a reading assignment.

Father Mark Beckman, the pastor of St. Henry Church in Nashville, walked the Camino de Santiago in 2014. He is shown here at the alta de perdon near Pamplona, Spain. A new app, Camino for Good, allows people to walk the Camino virtually while supporting the owners of the small hostels that serve pilgrims along the route.
