Immaculate Conception Grade School in Elmhurst is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. On Thursday, March 27, the Catholic school held a community event in the Immaculate Conception Church. The Very Reverend Thomas Paul (top right), the pastor of the Immaculate Conception Parish, presided over the community event in the church. Guests included Elmhurst Mayor Scott Levin, Elmhurst Chief of Police Michael McLean, and DuPage County Board member Cindy Cronin Cahill (bottom right). Cronin Cahill, who is an Elmhurst native and an Immaculate Conception parishioner, read a proclamation from the DuPage County Board noting the school’s 125th anniversary. The grade school’s students also attended the community event in the church, which included scripture readings and petitions from students. The event also featured brief reflections from several students representing each grade from first- through eighth-grade (above). After the celebration in the church, several of the guests took brief tours of some of the school’s classrooms before attending a reception in Monsignor Plunkett Hall.
