Nice events in our life.” Teri McQuaide Abbott ‘62 - “Being involved in education since graduating from Providence in 1962, it was inspiring to witness the May Crowning at Providence on May 4th and to see all of the dedicated students participating in that beautiful celebration and in the mass. To be part of the celebration was an honor for me. I hope more alumni from the Class of 1962 will be able to attend the next May Crowning and mass.
