Our Lady of the Rosary School

My West Coast Home for 2 Years

After I earned my Bachelor’s Degree, I served in the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), a postgraduate service program through the University of Notre Dame. I was placed at Our Lady of the Rosary school in Los Angeles, California where I taught Jr. High English and Religion for two years.

Having never even been to California before, I was incredibly blessed to have been brought into the OLR community. I learned so much from the families and kids at the school. From their joy for Catholic education to their love of dancing, it was incredibly hard to leave this humble community that had been my West Coast home for two years.

Out of gratitude for all that they had done for me, I quilted this tapestry for the school, showcasing the front of our church. OLR will always and forever hold a special place in my heart.
