A special celebration in the Bronx was attended by a special guest, Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

The Archbishop of New York joined in the event to honor Saint Raymond Elementary School's 150th anniversary.

Dolan blessed students on their way into the event in the school's auditorium.

Students started by singing a hymn along with teachers and former school priests and sisters. Other students gave readings.

Dolan says visiting schools is one of his favorite parts of his job. He thanked teachers for their hard work while in the school's halls.

In continuation of its anniversary, the school says it will say a prayer for 150 days for every former sister of charity at Saint Raymond.
