Santa may be on Spring Break, but it’s Christmastime in the D Wing! The Mother McAuley Theatre Program presented their spring play, Silver Belles, on March 26 and March 27.

The play was a heartfelt tale of caring for the people who matter most - with laughter, tears, romance, and a few Christmas surprises - a Hallmark movie meets the Golden Girls.

Congratulations to the cast and crew for a MIGHTY production!
