Last Sunday afternoon I had the joy of preaching at a "Baccalaureate Service" for the graduating class of 2010 from the American High School on the base. The service was organised by one of the members of St Catherine's, Mrs Barbara Crandall, whose own family are part of the Patch community. Because of the US policy of separation of Church and State, a religious service associated with high school graduation on a military base is highly unusual. Barb started the tradition just three years ago, and the interest and attendance among students and their families has grown.
