where we toured Presque Isle

State Park. We stopped to walk

out on a beach to take photos

then drove to a restaurant in

Erie for lunch. We spent longer

than expected at Presque Isle so

we did not arrive at Stella Niag-

ara, NY until around 8:00 p.m.

Once we unpacked and checked

into our rooms it was time for

Our seven 8th graders,

Emma, Sophie,

Kirsten, Daphne, Sier-

ra, Jacob and Ryan

along with Chaperones

Kelly Mitchell, Alison

Fisher, Scott Richards,

Jaime Keffer, Sandra

Keffer, Erica Altier,

Jan Richardson, Sarah

Smallwood and Mike

Lollo left the SRCS

parking lot

around 9:00

a.m. Monday, May 14.

To reduce cost we trav-

eled in four vehicles.

We drove to Erie, PA

swimming at the indoor pool at

the Sisters of St. Francis Con-

vent. While the kids swam piz-

za was ordered from a local

pizza company who delivered.

The pizza arrived and we all ate

in the cafeteria then went to

bed.

Tuesday, May 15 we had break-

fast at the Center for Renewal

Conference Center cafeteria

at 8:30 a.m. The Center for

Renewal is adjacent to the con-

vent. Sister Therese joined us

at breakfast and invited us to

Mass in the Chapel. Then Sr.

Therese gave us a tour of the

convent. It was wonderful! We

learned that there is a grade

school at Stella Niagara with a

Montessori preschool program.

The school has 150 students.

Sr. Therese lead us on a tour of

the beautiful grounds after the

building tour. After the tour at

Stella we hopped in our vehi-

cles, stopped and had a nice, sit-

down lunch and headed for Ni-

agara Falls, NY to view the

U.S.A. side of the falls or Bridal

Vail Falls. We went on the Maid

of the Mist boat ride where we

4th Graders walked down to The Pizza Place for their field trip. They were able to tour the kitchen and make their own individual pizza. It was a chilling experience!

FISHER CATHOLIC: Takes

second place in the Mid State

League Cardinal Division

Track Championships recently.

SRCS alumni Elizabeth Vigue,

Abby Krile, Maeve Boley and

Gavin LeGrand were all part of

the team. All four are high

honor roll students at Fisher

Catholic High School. Eliza-

beth and Gavin have both

qualified for the Regionals. We

are very proud of all of you!

got quite wet as the boat takes you right up to Horseshoe Falls. It was

great.

After the boat ride we split up in order for those who wished to explore

Goat Island could do so and those who wished to go elsewhere could do

so. We did this for two or three hours then we met at our vehicles as we

had planned. We arrived back at Stella after a late dinner.

On Wednesday, May 16th, we again were met at breakfast by Sr.

Therese. A number of us followed her to morning Mass and we received

Holy Communion. We then boarded our vehicles to Our Lady of Fatima

Shrine located a short distance north of Stella Niagara. We could have

spent the entire day there, as well as, spending the entire day at our

next stop, Fort Niagara.

From Fort Niagara we returned to Stella, regrouped and headed back to

Niagara Falls but this time we went to the Canadian side. We parked on

the American Side and crossed to Canada on the walking bridge. Every-

one had a wonderful time experiencing the Canadian side of the Falls.

We walked back to the USA, got in our vehicles and drove to Historic

Lewiston, NY, two miles south of Stella. In Lewiston, we had our last sit

-down meal together. It was wonderful.

After dinner we returned to Stella. Some of us went straight to bed

while others stayed up and talked.

We departed around 9:00 a.m. for the return trip on May 17th. The

drive home took about six and a half hours. This is a trip I pray we will

take for countless years to come. Travelogue by Mike Lollo.
