St. Vincent de Paul School fathers and daughters had a lot of fun at their recent Father-Daughter Sweetheart Ball. More than 80 girls from St. Vincent de Paul School in Mission Hills joined their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and family friends, dressing up and enjoying a spectacular evening together in the parish hall.
Parents transformed the hall into a Valentine’s wonderland complete with decorative hearts and parasols. In what has become an annual event at the school, dads tried to keep up with their daughters by showing off their moves doing the “Wobble” and shared memorable dances to favorite tunes like “Butterfly Kisses” and “Daddy’s Little Girl.”
Professional photographer and school parent, Rose Barr snapped keepsake portraits and other fun photos using entertaining props and personal chalk messages.
St. Vincent’s Principal Sr. Kathleen Walsh and principal emeritus Sr. Ursula Doherty stopped by to welcome everyone. “This is a beautiful event. Valentine’s Day is the perfect setting for fathers and their girls to enjoy a very special night,” remarked Sr. Walsh.
Based on the success of this event, St. Vincent de Paul School will host a Mother-Son Bowling Night for students later this spring. Mark your calendars for the upcoming St. Vincent de Paul School Annual Gala, That’s Amoré, Saturday, March 8 at the Bahia Resort on Mission Bay.
