This Friday, Assumption Catholic School in Perth Amboy, NJ welcomed the Class of 2023 and their parents to the Annual Blessing of Class Rings Ceremony. The class rings were blessed by Fr. Ivan Turyk and presented to the graduates of this year by the school’s Principal, Mrs. Lissette Shumny.  This year, Fr. Ruslan Romaniuk, Pastor of St. Vladimir Ukrainian Catholic Church in  Elizabeth, NJ concelebrated at the Liturgy, and was very proud to see his son David, ACS student, receiving a graduating ring.
In his homily, Fr. Ivan spoke about the symbolism of the rings and the Principal expressed how proud she and the eighth-grade teacher Mrs. Pickering were of their soon-to-be graduates. After posing for a group picture, students and their families enjoyed a small breakfast celebration in the church hall. Congratulations class of 2023. We look forward to journeying with you over the next couple of months and having your diploma be the next object we hand to you as a class.
