Roseries Presented to Students in Honor of Bill Olka

Posted on October 7, 2022 by Morgan Paul

St. Mary’s Catholic School, Oak Ridge, TN
After Mass on Monday morning, the entire school gathered together to receive a special gift from a special person. PGK Bill Olka’s last wish was to provide all the students at Saint Mary’s with rosaries and Mary medals. With the help of PGK Chip Dooley from the Knights of Columbus 3175 , all the students were so happy to receive them. Rest In Peace, Brother Olka.
