A semester to remember

Tanya Watterud

Students of Holy Spirit Elementary School had an unusual and blessed first semester of study this year. After summer flooding caused by sewer backup led to extensive repairs for their school and church, Holy Spirit in north Fargo, the students began the school year in a new setting - Cardinal Muench Seminary.

A few months earlier, the seminary’s final graduation Mass was celebrated. Enrollment had been low at CMS for some time, increasing the cost of education. The seminary program at CMS ended in the spring and the building was prepared for sale. When Holy Spirit School needed a temporary home, the facility where high school and adult men had once studied was ready for the students. Read the full story.
