Seton Catholic School students, staff and families gathered Nov. 10 at Brighton’s Our Lady of Lourdes Church for a special ceremony honoring veterans. Students sang, danced, prayed and gave gifts and thanks to veterans in attendance, many of whom had ties to the school. They also presented a new American flag to fly outside the school and it was blessed during the ceremony by Father Gary Tyman.
