HAMMOND â Bishop Noll Instituteâs faculty and staff recently received a special Christmas gift as a thank you for persevering through an unprecedented school year. As teachers finished giving students their finals and staff prepared the building for Christmas break, they received a surprise gift of a take-home Christmas dinner for their families. The gifts came to fruition at the suggestion of Bishop Noll Principal Lorenza Jara Pastrick and through the generosity of members of the Bishop Noll School Board and alumni from the classes of 1963, 1970 and 1995. During the November Bishop Noll board meeting, led by Chairperson Jeff Cipowski, Pastrick shared the challenges her staff has faced this year.
