On Wednesday they opened up a 101-year-old time capsule that was found in the cornerstone of the former school building that was torn down this summer. The capsule was wrapped up in a newspaper from 1921 and inside there was a letter from the pastor of the church, a few words from the bishop when they dedicated the former school building, and medals of Lady Mary, the patron saint of the school and emblems of the Sacred Heart.

Driving along Locust Street in the village of Ottawa you will find a beautiful new statue of the holy family sitting in front of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School. A goal was set up to raise $25,000 to fund the statue and make it a reality, and what was expected to take two to three years to raise money for was all raised in one school year thanks to determined students!
