Young students of Saint Michael School in Pawcatuck gathered on the front lawn of their 'new' building at the former West Broad Street School on September 15 as Bishop Michael R. Cote, D.D., blessed the building with holy water and took part in a dedication for the new school year.

The bishop was joined by Father Dennis Perkins, pastor of St. Michael Church, and Deacon Jorge Escalona.

Over the summer, the school moved from its previous location on Liberty Street, across from Saint Michael Church, into its new home, which it is leasing from the town of Stonington.

The faculty and students of St. Michael all wore face masks and practiced safe distancing during the outdoor event. Music selections were performed by Connecticut Brass.
