Principal’s commitment to school, parish earns her national award

Principal and studentsMany different moments help capture the essence of Nancy Buening, a mother of five and a longtime educator at St. Mary School in Greensburg. Now, another special scene of her life will be featured on April 18—the day she will receive the 2017 “Lead, Learn, Proclaim Award” from the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA). From more than 150,000 Catholic teachers and administrators across the United States, Buening is just one of the 42 people this year who will receive this honor “for dedication and commitment to excellence” during the association’s national conference in St. Louis.

But for those who worship at the northwest side church, their procession was a bit of a personal triumphal march as well. Palm Sunday marked the first time the members worshipped in their church since Sept. 9, 2015. On that date, the church’s narthex was destroyed by an accidental electrical fire. Smoke and water further damaged the interior of the church, rendering the worship space unusable. (Page 16)
