"Wall of Memories" Commemorative Plaques

The legacy of Divine Infant has always been about the people and their commitment to establishing, developing and continually supporting Catholic Education in the parish. This legacy has enabled Divine Infant School to fulfill its mission of providing its students with an excellent Catholic Education for over fifty years. The Divine Infant spirit has touched the lives of thousands of children and adults throughout the years. Each individual has memories of our school, classmates, teachers, priests, nuns and volunteers who have helped shape their lives.

With an eye on the future and memories of the past, help keep this legacy alive by purchasing a commemorative plaque that will be affixed to the wall of the main entrance to Langan Hall. The "Wall of Memories" will be adjoining a display of some of the memorabilia of Divine Infant School.

Each plaque is $150 and all proceeds go directly to Divine Infant School. As a contributor to the "Wall of Memories", you will have your commemorative plaque affixed to the "Wall of Memories" and you will receive a certificate of recognition for your continued support of Catholic Education in our parish
