Queen of Peace Students Attend African American Heritage Prayer Service
Burbank, IL –February 28, 2014 – This week the Queen of Peace Students attended the African American Heritage Prayer Service at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago. The theme of the prayer service was This is Our Story and focused on four African Americans who impacted the world; they were Sr. Henriette De Lille, Pierre Toussaint, Mother Mary Lange, and Fr. Augustus Tolton.
Schools were invited to process in with a poster or banner reflecting the history of their school. Queen of Peace students Tiara Cosby, Kaylin Ware, and Rukayat Bello brought up three posters-one depicting the Queen of Peace logo along with the Dominican value of Community, another depicted a picture of Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli, the founder of the Dominicans of Sinsinawa surrounded by the Dominican values of Truth and Justice, and the third one focused on a picture of the Queen of Peace student body surrounded by the Dominican values of partnership and compassion.
It was an incredible day for the students to gather and appreciate the gifts of one another.
