Edmund Carrol’s Wedding

On December 26th, at St. Bartholomew's Church, 4th grade teacher, Edmund Carroll ('13) married Ana Leal Garza. The Mass was celebrated in full solemnity, many of the prayers, including the eucharistic prayer in Latin. The choir was led by none other than Rafael Bello (’14).

In the Mass, Fr. Ricardo Arriola, told that "today is the feast of St. Stephen in the Church, the first martyr. So, here we have the rare combination of martyrdom and marriage! The stones are flying today as Edmund and Anna are wedding!”

The party afterwards was super lively, with the highlights being the first dance 

David O’Bar (’13), Edmund’s longtime roommate, gave the best-man’s toast in a totally expected dramatic way, including the presentation of swords, and a huge sword fight with three dinosaurs on hand!

So many Western faculty, parents, classmates attended the Mass and dinner.
