The eighth-grade students joined them as they learned about Jesus according to the Gospel of John: “On the last evening of His life, Jesus washed the disciples’ feet” (John 13:1-16).

Pictured is kindergartner Davide Graziani having his feet washed by eighth-grader Joseph Sloyan. Across the grade levels, Our Lady of Grace students often join for faith-based activities so that the younger students have positive role models in the older students.
