A Visit to Baggot StreetA group of
1977 graduates recently travelled together to Ireland to celebrate their 50th birthdays. According to Pat Helsdingen Reed, "During the years I was in high school, I made some lasting friendships....those relationships have continued and grown through the years." As a tribute to the start of their lifelong friendships which began at McAuley, the group made a stop at the
Catherine McAuley House in Dublin.
