Easter Eggs Discovered
The children got what they were looking for at the Columbus Motherhouse on Saturday. It was a game of hide and seek, better known as the Easter egg hunt. The children did their part, located the eggs and returned with happy faces. Thanks to all who brought their children to participate, it was a joy to see them.  Click here for a few pictures from the day.
