A New Family

Evidence that we truly are family at St. Gabriels: if you missed it, kindergarten teacher Ellen Yurko and Art Mika exchanged wedding vows at the school mass this morning in the school gym. Assembled as witnesses for the beaming bride and groom were all of St. Gabriels' students and faculty, as well as many parents. The kindergartners were the flower children in the processional, each carrying one peach colored rose to assemble at the alter in two massive bouquets. "It was as beautiful as any wedding I've ever seen," said one guest. In the receiving line after the wedding, Ellen exclaimed, "It was perfect. It was exactly what I wanted!" The happy couple will honeymoon in Mexico. Best wishes and many thanks to Ellen and Art for sharing their special day with us.
